true true... sometimes they just won't go along with it. I have one double-wide 'tray' on top, where I usually get 3 eggs everyday, and the lower left box has 3 or 4 more in it. //edit// that's out of 12 hens, 8 of which are pullets that have just started laying consistantly.
very early eggs are often on the floor, when they understand more, they'll seek out someplace that feels.... cozy, like a box, that encloses them somewhat. Also, try marking an X on an egg or two, (after you enjoy the early ones! YAY!!!) and leaving some eggs in them too along with the golf...
