Hi again. Another question for you all!

It's been quite a challenge to keep the bedding in the nest area in our Go... Then today I found one of the eggs had been kicked out into the run.

Any advice? (Apart from getting a big ol' wooden henhouse with separate nesting boxes!!)

I have a feeling my naughty Daisy may have been playing with the eggs...

 

Thanks....

When I Go hubby made me a wooden block that went across the entrance to the door to keep the bedding in.

How big was it and did you leave it there all the time, so they just hopped over it to get out? Sounds like a good idea.

Mine did this. I think some chickens get a bit humpy if there's another egg there when they want to lay. I tried all sorts of nesting material. They seem to like soft hay or shredded paper best. However mine started pooing in the nesting area . I have since got a very small hutch which is left open all the time. They all lay in that and will not lay in the eglu. They don't poo in it or chuck other eggs out either.

Yes I left the block there all the time, it was placed so you could still shut the door, hubby made it just the right size so it was wedged into place. They used to just hope over it or perch on it as I only have bantams.
