I have noticed some birds pick some really wierd laying places.....
what strange places do your birds use ??
JOHN
It's not really a strange place but I don't know why she does it. Two of
our banties lay in the travelling coop rather than their living coop,
that's understandable.
The third has dug a very deep hollow in the soil next to a wall under a
tree and lays there, in the open. Spouse made her a special nest box and
put it next to the hole, she had a look in, came out and laid in her usual
place.

My hens have laid eggs in my husband"s shoes left out on the verandah ( he
got a surprise :-), on a table (they roll off and break), on the
trampoline, under the barbeque. The reason for this was they got attacked
by a rogue dog in their coop. They now roost way up high in their coop on
tree branches that I have put in there for them. I lock the door at night
to keep out the foxes. The attack happened during the day, over a year ago.
My number three rooster tries to roost on our window sill. One night of
that was enough! We have to remove him after dark every night. I have
renovated their coop to see if they will lay eggs in it. They aren't safe
if they nest elsewhere. HTH.
