Especially as a grazer will (probably) die on a nest box.  They're not smart about grazing.

Yeah Elk birds. They pestered my miners alot on the previous fort; I foresee great things for them.

Why doesnt this happen to hens though?

Elk birds are the only egg-layers with the grazer tag. If you yank them off to their pasture as soon as you get the message about eggs hatching, then you can probably keep them alive while increasing their population.

Guineahens lay loads of eggs and newborn peafowl chicks return enough at the butchery for a passable meat industry. The largest birds you can have on embark without modding are turkeys, which are only as big as cats. Geese are very slightly smaller.
