We had chickens when I was young. When I was young I thought they were kind of stupid, Now, I'm old,and living in the country again, and I've been keeping chickens for about four years now, and my outlook has completely changed. They're not stupid at all. I love my chickens.

In my chicken nest boxes I have hay for their bedding after a couple of circles and deciding of the two nests which is best they go straight down. I have shavings and a mixture of Timothy hay where they roost and feed during the day they are free to roam around the garden.

My friend just sent me your video because we’re voice twins (I also raise birds and she thought I had a secret YT channel). And I had to comment because you’re also in my home state. I’m just amused.

Theres not enough room. And the lip on the nestbox stoped her getting her egg in the nest so then shes stuck making a nest between the nestbox and perch which was an even tighter space.

Awww, I have a pullet named JoJo too! She's an English Jubilee Orpington.

Even after laying one of my hens still picks up the hay in this manner.

They cover themselves with bedding or feathers, ancient jungle camouflaging trick 😆 Like when cats or dogs invisible “bury” their food.

She is trying to make hay nest, cup shaped nest for the eggs from a small dryed grass as they used to, but this hard wooden material is hurting her legs she is really confused as i think and hurting. Bring her to a grassed environment. That is her natural habitation. comfortable and saver for her and For the eggs.

my barred rock just layed her first egg. Did this little ritual for 4 hours.

Wood ship is no that good becouse hens spread everywhere, Hay or Straw is better. Every week or two just add a little more or change it if is wet or durty.

What a beautiful hen!!!

Love it, my new girls are going to start laying, yesterday(9/7/2020) someone lay a tiny lite brown egg. So excited and my old white chicken lay also her normal nice size egg.

I have one chicken that’s very broody She lays on her egg and then when she wants to leave she covers her egg with shavings.. 😂

must be nice if you can collect eggs several times a day. perhaps country bumpkin has to actually work for a living. SMH! Personally i have owned hens for years. most hens dont throw the eggs out of the nest. that is why people put wooden or ceramic eggs in a nest box. It is common for hens to all want the lay in the same box. Doesnt matter how many nest boxes you have. They will all pick one box and use that. Jojo is a cute hen. But her actions are kinda unusual.

Joe Jay I have plenty of nest boxes, I keep them clean, and I still have chickens laying their eggs on top of each other. Sometimes there’s even two in one nest despite there being empty nest boxes available. My hens seem to play favorites when picking a nest box. And collect eggs several times a day? Honey, not all of us can. Some of us have jobs we have to go to.

Is that an Easter egger? Beautiful.

The nest box is backwards the tall part should be in the back it would make it a lot more comfortable for the hens

0:27 so THATS how our leghorn egg ends up in the middle of the coop.

One of mine did the same, pulling the long aspen fibers from a nest box mat out and making a nest, throwing them over her shoulder. First egg right outside the nest box with its ceramic brown egg. Next day she made the connection, laid her second right next to the brown one..yours looks uncomfortable, like she’s trying to find room..
