Why do my roos do this?

[Jennyhaschicks]

Whenever I clean out my nest boxes and put new hay in there they are usually the first ones to run over, look around and get in.. What they heck?

They always do this and I am wondering why? Are they just being really nosy or are they making sure all the new change is fine for their hens?

Probably both.

making sure it is safe for their girls. Being good roos.

I can't help but chuckle every time I see them in there.
