This morning little Sweetpea was loudly announcing her imminent laying with an egg song.
Saturday is our full housekeeping day, and due to a little human lay-in I was still cleaning out the coop, so she couldn’t get to her usual nest box, which was clearly somewhat of a frustration from the squawking being produced.
She leapt up (flying would be a massive exaggeration) onto the roof of the chicken coop to have a good look around the immediate area, checking for other equally suitable nesting spaces. She happily spied the interim deluxe spacious nesting box, (otherwise known as a quickly assembled cat carrier with bedding) and happily settled in there for a lay.
(Edit to say the “deluxe secluded” nesting box is such a hit with all the girls it’s now been moved permanently into the run).
Sometimes it’s good to take a step back from your immediate situation and look at it from a different perspective, an alternative, equally viable, solution could be right under your nose.
