ok think my hen rica is finished layiing her eggs, 5 in all, just 2 questions hope someone can help me. First ques; when i get home at night i always let them out to strech their wings play etc., lolo (god what a bird, and personality) can't wait to get out, its like he's saying "I've been kooked up with her all day , LET ME OUT!" THAT I HAVE NO PROB WITH, RICA , ON THE OTHER HAND DOES , SHE COMES OUT FOR A SEC , BITES ME HARD, (SHES BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE LAYING HER EGGS) THEN STRESSES ABOUT HER HUSBAND. IS IT FAIR TO LET LOLO HAVE PLAY TIME OR SHOULD I LIMIT HIS TIME OUT? 2ND QUESTION, AND I'M KICKING MYSELF FOR THIS. WHEN I BOUGHT THE NESTING BOX , I DIDN'T THINK SHE WOULD USE IT RIGHT AWAY ,LOL, I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO LOOK AROUND, SHE WAS READY, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I REPLACED ONE SIDE OF IT WITH GLASS INSTEAD OF THE PLYWOOD SLAT IT CAME WITH. ITS A TYPICAL BIRTHING BOX WHERE BOTH SIDES SLIDE UP AND DOWN. I THOUGHT OF BUYING A DUPLICATE, TAKING ONE OF THE SIDES TO THE HARDWARE STORE AND SORT OF USING IT AS A TEMPLETE FOR A GLASS WALL. ANY ADVICE? THAX, CHRISTOPHER
