3.6m Omlet Chicken Run for sale, Brand New in Boxes, Milton Keynes (MK19)

So I thought the chickens weren't laying. Turns out they were, just elsewhere. Why would they start laying somewhere else and how do I get them back laying in the nesting box?

 

Thanks

'Cos they like to keep you guessing . Little minxes .

 

A couple of pot eggs or golf balls might help.

Put the fakes in the nesting box you mean to get them going there again? Someone's laying in there though so would that not encourage them?

 

I'm gutted that I've missed out on all these gorgeous eggs!!!

I've often found my girlies laying elsewhere e.g in the hedge and lately they have taken up residence in the rabbit hutch! I have just left them too it and they have eventually come back to the nesting boxes.

My CLB used to lay in the hedge all the time but one day she just came back to the nesting box and has laid there ever since.

I think they sometimes just like a change, and like it was said earlier, they just like to keep you guessing!

My cream legbar lays in the garden too. It's ok now that we know she lays there though, she did go back and lay in the eglu for a bit, but then gave up on that idea...

 

The others lay in the eglu though.
