Ok here the thing we have three built nest boxes that are in the coop. Only problem we have is four of our five hens (only four laying, five are mature, 18 are not to young) well the four that are laying only use one box. I put fake eggs in the boxes(plastic easter egg) and they would go in the other boxes then complain loudly and walk out.... And go back in the one box they all seem to like.. They are all the same expect the location. I am see a future problem of 23 hens laying in one box(we plan on building more). Is there an another way to brain wash them to think the other nest are safe?(i dont want to leave real egg if i dont have to)
