This explains a lot.
My husband and I were working in the run when our 2 hens started screaming at each other on a busy Saturday morning.
In an effort to make peace so they would stop screaming I went to get the egg out from under the hen in the nest thinking that was the problem, there was no egg. Now I know. They were both wanting to lay in the same box at the same time. By the way, they did not stop screaming after I checked for an egg. The hen in the basket stood her ground and did not move. The other hen eventually moved to another spot. It is funny that out of 4 hens there are 3 egg laying spots and they all seem to like the same laying spot.
