I've covered the nest boxes so the chickies won't poop in them. and actaully it's a shelf, with a lip. My EE's are almost 16wks old.
So, my question is, do I start getting the nesting area ready?
Do I need a fake egg?
I'm sure that if i don't get it ready, they'll lay where-ever, correct?
But will I have a problem then, getting them to lay where I want them to?
I can't wait to see what colors they'll lay.
I have a theory, i think it has to do with the color of their legs, the slate legs ones will be blue eggs and the green legged one will be laying green eggs.
