So, I've got 5 hens (used to have 8)and 3 nest boxes. Aside from location in the coop, they're identical. The girls only lay in 1 of them though. I've seen up to 3 hens in it at a time, with another hen impatiently waiting (squawking non stop) for her turn.
What gives? Is there a trick to getting them to use the other ones? This becomes an issue when my orpington goes broody.
