My 11 chickens are 7 months old. They started laying in late September/early October. At first found a few eggs in the run or on the floor of the coop, but everyone seemed to get the idea and soon all eggs were laid in the nests.They have been very good layers.....5-8 eggs per day for the past two months. However, for the past 3 days, "someone" has laid their egg on the floor of the coop under the nest box area. All other eggs are in the nests. Any ideas on why that "someone" isn't using the nest? Don't know who it is or when it happens. They have access to four nests but generally lay in only 2.
Will appreciate any ideas on what to do to stop this. (my first ever experience with chickens)
Thanks in advance
