Recently my ringneck laid an egg on the cage floor, I put the egg back in the box. I found another egg today on the cage floor, but unfortunately this one was broken. can someone help me and explain why this is happening. What is the reason of her laying on the cage floor and not in the breeding box.

I am new to breeding and I this is the first time I think she bred.

Can you describe the construction and set-up of your nestbox? A picture would be better.

With my nestboxes, it is almost impossible for my birds to carry an egg up a wire ladder and toss eggs outside.

HI jay, maybe they laid outside the nest box. Last year i've experience that with my first time breeder, just saw the egg outside the nest box. I just put it inside the box and luckily they've hatched.

hen was a very very tame and possibly first time mother. she laid 2 eggs both on the cage floor, one broke and the other one eaten by her. my hen went wild after that so i decided to rehome her as i have small kids and she was going mad....
