NOt sure which method.... open the boxes and put them in there now BEFORE they start- or wait until we find an egg in the coop THEN put them in the nesting box and open them.... both methods seem to work as to showing them where to lay eggs.... hmmmm
I have 3 younger chickens - 3 weeks younger... so not sure how this will efffec their habits of sleeping in the boxes... maybe Open the boxes during the day? With the fake eggs/golf balls - then still close at night until they are old enough to use the boxes for laying?
We have 2 15 week olds and 3 12 week olds... it is too early to open up the boxes for the 12 week olds isn't it????
I know i am probably making it complicated - but that is what i do
