Nest box q
« on: July 15, 2008, 11:19 »
I have three chooks in my eglu, they have only been here a few days and although they are POL they still have pink combs and so I am not expecting eggs for a few weeks yet. So my question is....do I need to put the straw into the nest box yet or is it ok to wait for a week or two?

Hi
I would put some in there, so they can practice & see that there is somewhere for them to go :wink:

I have golf balls in mine and they are already laying.. but still laying all over the place. Should i remove them? I made a nest shape with some straw and they just got on with it.
