The first sign is that the birds will make a sort of moaning noise and will constantly keep going to and from the nest box. After laying for the first time, the bird will make a cackling sound as if to everyone look what she has achieved! Provide a nest box with easy access, make it as dark as possible, or place it in a dark area. Keep it clean and disinfected and always collect the eggs on a regular basis – at least once a day.

It’s such a good feeling knowing where your breakfast comes from! TIP: I don’t recommend purchasing chicks or chickens from someone you don’t know and trust, only purchase from a hatchery or trusted seller!
