BadGardener Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Put a football in it overnight so they can't sleep in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakjon-98 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 All the time! I agree about putting something in the nest box overnight to stop them as it get can get the eggs mucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Chooky Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I used to put a football in the nest and wedge a trug in the entrance to the nest box but soon got fed up with that I leave them to sleep in the nests if they want and just poo pick in the morning The things we find ourselves doing eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxinediana Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I also have a problem with one chicken who always sleeps in the nesting box whilst the other 2 have to be in the rest of the Eglu. It always poos in the nesting box - usually to one side of it an up on the raised edge! I think I'll continue to poo pick each morning prior to their laying.
