I have been reading about trap nesting. Does anyone still do this? Does anyone know where you can get instructions about hoe to build some? I am very interested n exhibition and pedigreed poultry. It would be very nice to be able to tell which hen laid which egg.
Thanks.
 
Only place I see about trap nesting is in "Storeys guide to raising chickens" by Gail Damerow. Amazon.com for 20 bucks or so. Details, with drawings.

Do a 'search' on 'trapnest*' or 'trap nest*', there have been several reasonably good threads on the subject here over the past year or two, including links/citations for several designs you can build.

I will probably build some trapnest fronts next spring, never got around to it this year but would *really* like to know which eggs are from which hens i.e. which I want to set in the incubator.

GOod luck, have fun,

Pat
