i have some dark brown paint left over & i plan to paint the inside of my nest boxes so the hens think it's a really dark place.Has anyone had issues with hens not laying their eggs in open air non-dark nesting boxes?
Will be some darkness from the roof but plan to leave all sides open to combat the brutal Summer heat.
just make sure you use latex paint if you do this though & also make sure it's 100% dry too (fumes)
good luck
