Alis girls Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 OH who is honing his DIY skills decided to make a nestbox area for the wooden coup I have added onto the Eglu run. Its simple and he proudly put it in the new girls home. As you might have read they treated my rollaway nest box with disdain and kicked it out into the run so excited this morning I opened door to see if they had laid in their new area - had they heck all I found was a ruddy great slug which 4 pairs of beady eyes had missed. To say he was miffed would be an understatement. There isnt anything he wouldnt do for theses ungrateful little minxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amys garden Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Oh those naughty girls! I've only just started on the chook keeping but Ive heard putting dummy eggs in the nest box might help? Don't dispare they'll get there in the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 your best bet is to put a pot egg in there for a fue days until they get the idea it's safe to lay there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
