I'm sure this has been asked before but we are new to this.
We picked up 4 one year old laying hens last night from a friend, they were laying good solid eggs.
I went in the coop this AM and one of my leghorns laid a soft egg from the roost.
Three questions:
Any ideas why the egg would suddenly be soft?
What can I do to get them to lay in the nesting box?
Also, my boxes are 12"x12" square, is that adequate?
Thanks in advance!!!
