Chickens dying after laying

Cover nest boxes with curtain..Darken the coop...Up the protein to 18%...Over crowding depending on the breed...
Thank you for the fast response! I have the coop darkened, but there is a design flaw in the nesting boxes that they are accessed from the top instead of the sides, any suggestions? I am thinking of hacking entry holes into the sides and erecting a barrier on top, would the curtain help then?
 
Yes....Chickens preference is dark nests to hide their exposed and red areas as the egg is expelled....
Also jump into nests and not climb in over top....Sounds good....Try that....
Thank you, I didn't realize how vulnerable their parts were during laying, didn't even think about it, wish I'd realized it sooner!
