The article explains trap nests to prevent eye eating among hens in pens with many females per male. It describes the design where hens enter from the back, trigger a release, and a cord resets the front door for the next egg. The simple units cost little, about 15 cents each, and aid in counting and safe egg collection.
The article covers recommended perch space for hens six to eight inches, spacing from walls and ceilings, and movable perch options. It also discusses how winter huddling and summer spread affect perch needs and notes that wall proximity and brooming can injure birds. It ends with how a male bird's temperament influences egg fertility and feeding behavior.
