rachick Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 My Miss Pepperpot has laid in the nest box since we got her in November; this last week, I have been concerned that there were so few eggs (we had been getting 2 everyday, 3 some days - from 3 chickens, not just Pepper!) This morning I watched Pepper as she raced out of the run, round behind the oil tank........where I found 7 eggs!!!! Is there a reason why she should suddenly start laying there? And how do I get here to lay back in the nest box?! Looks like 'll be making cakes and meringues today then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Very strange that she has suddenly decided to lay elsewhere... Have you recently changed your nestbox bedding? Have you had a look inside for any redmite/beasties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachick Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 No, nothing has changed - still using wood shavings, as always, and no sign of any beasties! The other 2 are still laying in the nest box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
