carrie Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 My amber star stated laying recently, she kept escaping to lay eggs in a very inacessible place behind my greenhouse, I blocked that off and now she keeps laying on the perch so the eggs keep smashing. How can I encourage her to lay in nest box instead? Her name is Tallulah is she just living up to her name, being a stroppy teenager and getting her own back on me for blocking her self chosen nest area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 They say newly laying hens can be encouraged by a ceramic egg or a golf ball in the nestbox . Not sure if that would work but it's worth a try . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
