My chickens free roam, they stay in their coops til about noon and then they come out & run around and by 7 or 8 they go back into their coops all by themselves and we shut it. Will they lay their eggs in the yard since they free roam? We have a box that was made for them to lay their eggs in the coop I think, but I've always been worried about it. We have 10 chickens and the box is quite dark and it's kinda small but they all seem to fit in it. It's up high so there's a ladder for them to get in. It's where they sleep every night. There's only one opening in the middle and the rest is blocked off. I could send a pic of it if you want me to. They're 4 months old, and if I should make new little boxes for them to lay their eggs what should it be?
