Box Clever

Hen's always prefer to lay their eggs in a safe space. A nesting box is what you will need or some elevated space with straw or similar material that they can lay on. Think of it as a nest so the other hens (or you) don't stand on eggs on the ground. We have two boxes elevated on bricks and made from nailed together bits of wood, with a lip at the front to stop the wood chips that it contains from spilling out.
