chuckmum6 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 My girls are making a shocking noise at the moment, they are all now laying and the problem is they all insist on only using the left hand of the cube nest box. I have put in their area the spare Eglu with the guinea pig base for an extra nest box, but only one little Pekin will use it . The others screech at each other if the 'special corner' is occupied, they stare at whoever is in the chosen space, until they start boking. The horrible noise continues and spreads to those hens and cockerel who are outside, eventually they pile in on top of each other, they won't use the right side or the Eglu . My question is has anyone divided up their cube nest box, or solved raucous and rather dim chickens with similar laying hang ups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Someone devised a double nest box divider for the cube. Maybe a mod can find it? Mine too have a favourite corner that everyone wants to use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 and mine with all the midwives giving noisy encouragement from outside. I'd forgotten about the divider, time for a new make I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
