RIR laying outside of nest box

[bwyman]

Help! Recently my RIR has started laying on the other side of our property how do I make her lay back in the nest boxes like the others?

Thanks!

That can be difficult. Put fake eggs in the nest boxes, keep her locked up longer in the coop, or cover the nest she is using with something. If you keep removing the eggs she may eventually get the hint. However, she may also be considering going broody (they tend to be more secretive when going broody).

I hope this helps. Best of luck!
