Re: mess in the roosting box

My silly girls have lots of boxes but they all seem to prefer to use
the one
box. The favoured box changes from time to time and I can't pick any
single
factor that makes one box the flavour of the moment. It seems to have
nothing to do with the freshness of the bedding material or the light or
anything that I can make out. It just seems to be something along the
lines
of "this week we'll all lay in 'x' box".

They like laying where there's already another egg. A fake egg
placed in the empty boxes will often even things out a bit :-)

Yeah tried that too but the girls seem to have their own way of deciding
where they are going to lay.
