Hello friends,
one of our hens died in a previously very popular nesting box a few months ago. Ever since all our hens have refused to lay eggs in there. We thoroughly cleaned the box multiple times but they won’t go in it. Instead they all squeeze into the remaining two nesting boxes, sometimes sitting on top of each other to lay their eggs.
Is it normal for chickens to completely reject a nesting box after one of their flock has died?
