Calum Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi a few days ago charity started laying her eggs in a plat pot . This was just after we got two new chickens. Has anyone got any ideas to what caused this abnrmal behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Maybe she is feeling a bit stressed with the other hens having arrived. Are they hogging the nest box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 No but they stay in the house more than her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali B Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 My original 4 goldlines started to "lay away" when I introduced two new girls, a bit of a problem as we have an acre of garden! Luckily I found their communal nesting site, and collected the eggs from there. After about 3 weeks, when everything had settled down again, they returned to the nest box, and this morning, for the first time, I have had 6 eggs in the cube.
