Well I have another egg laying problem child.
This one is laying her eggs while sitting on the perch and obviously the eggs are ending up on the ground.
In the last 3 days, she has laid 2 eggs on her perch.
She has a nest box which she had spent the last 3 weeks making it into a nice cosy home. All this week she had spent most of her time in the box, except when she is laying an egg
.
She is laying the eggs sometime after dark/early morning as they are not there just on dark but when I check after work around 7AM the egg is on the ground.
Afte laying the egg, she then goes back IN the box for the rest of the time.
I bought her last year during breeding season and missed out on last years breeding. So this is the first season I have had from her.
How can I get her to lay her eggs INSIDE the nest or is this a habit that possibly won't be able to stop?
Oh by the way, not all my birds are cookoo, just a select few lol. The rest of the hens are normal and lay inside lol
