I have a coop similar to the attached pic....arrow points to where it opens for eggs, it opens from a latch at the top flipping down if that makes sense.
My ladies and roo are snacking on eggs. They aren't deterred by fake eggs. I tried a roll away plastic tray and they fussed and continually tossed it out of the nesting box/coop area.
I don't want to cull or give away my birds, but I mean I do have them for eggs...I try and collect before they snack on them but I work so I usually miss their egg laying time.
I want to try and add on a roll away nesting box that isn't just a plastic tray... .something that replicates a nesting box like their coop has, one that can't toss aside...in hopes it works. Plus it means less snakes will eat the eggs as well. Any ideas?
