how do I get rid of poop in the nesting box?

[oconnorfamily25]

I have one hen who likes to just chill in the nesting box, even when there are no eggs. Unfortunately, she takes LARGE poops in the box.
Eww. It soils the eggs and how do I get her to stop? (this is a new thing)

Does she sleep in there or is it during the day? Mine used to sleep in the nesting box and it got horribly nasty... I had to go out after dark evey night for a few weeks to move them from the nesting box to a perch until they finally got the point.

She could be broody. Just take her out every time you see her in there and put her where the other hens are.

Is she going broody? Though even when they're setting nonstop they get out to poop, so I don't really know...
