ajm200 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Amongst our 6 bantams we have one that is a bit odd. She isn’t quite right to look at, feels a bit lopsided bone-wise when we hold her and doesn’t act quite right. She’s special 😉 The rest of the flock have rejected her and she is usually on her own. She follows about 4 ft behind the rest 😔. We thought she might not lay but she does but usually on the roosting bars of the cube or the lawn. Her eggs often fall through to the poo trays. The other 5 use the nesting box. It is lined with paper and sawdust. We have moved her into the box when we realise she is trying to lay but the egg is still in the bars when we go back. She also shouts the whole time she is laying not just afterwards. Any ideas on how to get her to use the nesting box?

FarmKing Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Others might be chasing her out the the nesting box. Add more nesting boxes with enough distance in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
