Big Dave Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 My two chickens sleep in the nest box, inturn they are lying in own droppings. I've read this should be discouraged and can cause parasites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey Road Girl Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi Big Dave, Some people put a plastic plant pot into the nest box at night. Or even a football! But if they are laying you may have to get up early to remove the obstacle. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Or take it out very late when they have been asleep for a couple of hours. It does work (if you remember ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
