I am a new chicken mama, and my chickens are 16 weeks old. I have 2 black sex linked, 2 ISA browns, and two misc colored eggers. I have gotten two brown eggs, and one blue egg already, but I felt this is super early to be laying. Should I be concerned that they aren't laying daily ? Also, how do I train them to go in the nesting boxes? The first 2 brown eggs were laid under their ramp in their run, and the blue egg actually was laid while she was on the roosting bar, so it unfortunately broke in the fall. (and since it broke I am pretty sure they started eating it because I found pieces on the other side of the coop. What to do I do? I have fake eggs in their nesting boxes and I know they are going in there because my shavings and eggs have been moved. HELP. I am nervous that they are going to become egg eaters now before they even start really laying. But luckily I haven't found any residue of any anywhere since that incident.
