Wouldn’t think it messed anything up, Hugh. Sure hope not!

I finally pulled the guard off this evening. the female never entered the box with the guard down. After hinging it up I found her in it once. I put it in a horizontal position thinking that this might begin to get her use to it but she wouldn’t enter with it in this position even after an hour. So now I’ve taken it off and am just hoping for the best. Next go round I’ll get a guard on before egg laying is done.
Thanks for the good wishes,
Hugh
