Laying from the perch
« on: April 14, 2010, 21:59 »
I have six healthy hens all laying well but two of them regularly lay from the perch,  before I open the door each morning. I can't tell which ones but have my suspicions ! I tied a net underneath the perch for a few nights  which caught the eggs but obviously also caught the poo too . I do try to open as early as possible. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Automatic pop hole set to monitor light levels may open it slightly earlier?
Otherwise apparently it takes 25 hours egg to egg, so hopefully the chickens themselves will adjust to slightly later laying and the problem will take care of itself :)
