So, one of our fellow bloggers (and chicken owners) suggested we use fake eggs to teach the chickens were to lay. I promptly went to Hobby Lobby and purchased 6 eggs. Then I placed them in different nesting boxes. So far, the only one who has been fooled by them is EJ. He saw the lovely little eggs in a row and got really excited...until he picked one up. Can't wait to see if this works! :)
We did this too, and I think it worked for us. I can recall leaving the fake eggs in the boxes forever. Until they all just finally broke or disappeared.
