Crowing
A nesting box under the roost area might get droppings on the top when the chickens are sleeping during the night. I would recommend placing it elsewhere, if you have the option. Also, I forgot to ask, is the pullet shown in the post dominant or more submissive? I am asking this because, while pullets do squat for humans when they are getting close to lay, the dominant ones most likely will not due to the fact that males will choose submissive hens for mating instead (this is because it is easier to breed them; and yes, this also means males will immediately go after the sick, injured, or generally weaker hens for breeding).I am going to try to get hubs to put the nesting box up this weekend when he is off work. We were thinking of putting it under the roost area. Thoughts?
