Coop be why she moved her nest there. Wood shavings offer nice cushioning for the eggs.Actually there is wood shavings on the floor of the coop where she moved the nest.
Last night I took Ratchet out of her nest box and added a bunch of straw and made a (what I thought was adequate) bowl-shaped nest and put 6 fertile eggs in it. This morning it looked like she settled into it pretty well, but when I looked in on her this evening she had moved the nest. She took half the straw about a foot away and made a new nest and moved the eggs there. It doesn't seem very deep. I hope she knows what she is doing.

Its not real deep... no more than two inches. I looked in on her this morning and she had added more straw. I would have love to have seen her move her nest!please remove some wood shaving when she gets up and put more straw. only if it is not too hot where you live you can leave it.
