Rebellious Chickens

As you may remember, Eric, Danny and Poppi made some super nesting boxes for our chickens.

We either have dysfunctional chickens or they are going through a bit of a rebellion.

Note the eggs on the floor right next to the nesting box!

Still, I won’t complain.  My rebellious little chickens are feeding us breakfast!

It wouldn’t hurt our rooster, Mr Bugle, to take note… The hens are earning their keep.  Best not attack the hand that feeds you, Mr. Bugle.

 

We may change his name to Stew.

  2. I raised chickens when I was a teenager and they preferred to lay their eggs on the floor, too. Try putting a golf ball or fake egg in each box to help them "think" there is already an egg in the nesting box.
