[Ag-eq] nests

[Susan Roe]

Jody,

Your best bet is checking your hay frequently during the day to see if she 
is there in the hay nesting.  Every time you find her there, shew her off 
the hay.  Make sure she goes in the coop at night.  She should realize that 
she wants a quieter place to lay her eggs.  You certainly don't want your 
chickens up in the hay you will be feeding to your horses.
