Several weeks ago I was given a few polish hens and to my surprise got an egg a day for the first 6 days I had them. I recently had an outbreak of cocci in my pen and lost 8 chickens. The polish had stopped laying a bit before that and still haven't laid again. I am not so concerned about this since I am still treating the water with medication and figure they may still be a bit under the weather.
My main question is how to keep the chickens from roosting on the edges of the nest boxes at night. My nest boxes in my one coop are constantly filled with poop because several of my chickens have decided it is fun to roost on the edges of the nest boxes at night. Is there any solution to this so I do not constantly have nest boxes full of poop?
Thanks again guys !
