This morning I noticed Honey going in the little coop a couple of times. After lunch I went to check for eggs and was surprised to find Honey’s egg in the little coop and Bluebell’s egg in the nest box. This is really good news as it means if Honey is happy to lay her eggs in the little coop she will be safe from getting pecked by the big girls.
She had laid her previous egg two days earlier and today she showed no sign of looking unwell. Maybe the limestone flour has sorted out her problem and it looks like she is starting to lay normally now.
It will be interesting to see where Amber lays her next egg.

Hurrah! I think it was a good idea to keep the second coup as it takes up very little space.I know that for what ever reason every so often one of my lovely girls decides to sleep or lay in our second one for no reason ,so it makes sense to me .
Pleased to hear the limestone seems to be working .
You are right, it takes up very little space and it’s in a corner they don’t spend any time in any way. It gives peace of mind that it is there if the little girls need it. It also stores it in a dry place.
