Awesome video as usual. I was going to contact you both to tell you… I got my first egg on Wednesday! I felt like such a proud mama! I’m almost positive it’s my chicken Bakey! When I was putting the babies to bed, she jumped down and led me to the egg in her nest box. It’s a pretty crazy story. She literally got off her roost to show me. I sense I have two more eggs from her. Anyway, thanks for the video.

Thank you! I really needed this! I have a chicken that started this week but she is leaving the area because they think im going to let them out into the yard. I didn't realize you need to train them for a bit to get them to come back to the coop!

Great video! I used the fake eggs when my chickens were young and it worked well. 😊

Thank you we just moved into our new propertiy and we have a free range flock 1 rooster and 4 hens with 6 chicks. I need to build a coop for them and encourage them to lay in nest boxes

The ole fake egg trick :) Yep, I've kept them around for a long time, mostly for the newbies joining the main flock. It really works. I see the hens looking for a box with an egg already in it :)

Thank you for not adding in a bunch of unnecessary stuff. I will subscribe simply off of that.

We are in NC and it is 90+. My coop is over 100 with bihg built indoor outdoor wall fans. They have a really nice area under some trees that is shaded all day and they like to hang out there with the kiddie pool frozen jugs they sit next to and cool water. I give them frozen fruit and veggie treats. Problem was they want to go into the coop to lay. I can lock them down in the shaded area and today I put their boxes out there with them. I use totes with a door hole cut out. Lots of room and easy to clean. Anyway, they would not go in them. I went and got an egg for each box and they went in. Thank you so much for the advice. I know about getting them trained when young but this worked like a charm in minutes. Not sure why I did not think to try it until I watched the video duh. LOL Still thank you. You guys are awesome.

I have 7 new chickens that will be laying sometime in Feb/March. I just watched your Nesting Boxes for Chickens video. Using info from that, I'll create some nesting boxes, and I'll experiment and add some fake eggs to some of the boxes, and see if chickens lay in the ones with eggs. Appreciate both videos, thanks for the share!

[yennsurait]

nice! i tried that method too and it works... Good Job! God Bless You More

[overclucker]

Informative, with no fluff. This was a great video!

[marynellessen]

This is great!! All my hens are new & reached the age where they will start laying any time. I have the fake wooden eggs. I put them in the nesting boxes for a week then took them out. I wasn’t sure if I should take them out every day and replace every night. Also they have a favorite spot to hang out when free ranging. Bushes around a tree I call their tree fort. I check there each day for eggs, nothing yet.

[StamperWendy]

I'm impressed with all of your chicken knowledge 😊

[psuchomattis]

Thank you! We have a few Easter eggers(imagine that!) That started laying all over the place

[christinahidalgo]

thanks for this!
Informative! My flock has been adjusting to the additions of 14 (9 week old) chicks to the run & coop & they are not happy with this.
I can see their expressions & know that they are grouchy 😮
I have bought a large plastic dog house & they are taking it, but they free range all day & the last two days I have only collected 5-6 eggs when It should he 11.
Not sure where they are laying. I have 1.5 acres so it has been a challenge to find the eggs.

[mosby]

Thx love my chickens 🐓 my first year and I appreciate all the great info

[paramedicchrisbookseries]

Brilliant. My latest book involves a chicken, paramedic Chris and the runaway chicken.

Golf balls work well to entice hens to lay, that's what I use to get my teacup bantams to lay year round 😊

[evelinemorales]

Our neighbor just gave us two hens that are already laying eggs. They are use to free ranging which we have been doing but unable to find eggs. It is getting colder out (last night was 30 degrees) so I'm wondering if keeping them in the coop for a few days would be good for them? We have not added a run yet but they have a spacious cozy coop. Any recommendations? Thanks!

[janicealderson]

Yes, I locked down yesterday so I need to continue! They go into the woods and the neighbours said other neighbours are finding/keeping our eggs.

Thank you for the information I been looking for this type of video for a while now
