So Homan asked yesterday how do the chickens know to lay in the nest box and I answered, "they just know." Well clearly they don't just know. This morning, I went out to the coop and found an egg on the ground in the run. So one of the other 2 chickens is laying as well and hasn't learned the proper place to lay (or was just to lazy to go upstairs into the nest box).
Not quite sure how to train her to go in the right place but I hope she learns because her egg ending up getting dirty. I have to figure out how to get it clean now.
