My chicken laid her 2nd egg ever today and not in her lovely nest box... but in the coop instead. She did this yesterday too. They have fake eggs in the nest boxes and I just put more shaving in there to make it softer (along with the straw). Any other ideas?
Your Nest Boxes are low to the ground......All the same bedding used in the nests and bedding......Fake eggs are hype...I have never used one........
Chickens prefer nest boxes off the ground and ones that are a bit dark...I have a curtain on my nest boxes........mine are hung a foot or more off the ground....
