YES, I would try leaving them inside the coop until maybe 10:00, after they lay. If your chickens are free range, then you will start finding eggs nestled in tall patches of grass and maybe even in the garden out in the yard. It's not a very pleasant thing to step into on your morning stroll. Well, your chickens should stop laying for the day in the morning most of the time. Mine usually lay anytime before 10:00. I wondered if that would be an issue ive been free ranging mine but they go back and forth from the barn to outside through out the day and our eggs are always in the nestboxes so when they lay they head back does any one elses chickens do this?
