Hello! we have 8 chickens, ( 4 RRI, 2 isa browns and 2 buff oppringtons.) When we check on them at night they are all laying near the food and water even tho we have two roosting poles, OR they are sleeping in their nest ( our girls are afternooon layers) is this ok/normal ? we live in MI and the cold months are coming upon us we just wanna be sure that it's ok for them to be doing this.
ALso the last 3 days we have checked there have been eggs laid in the coop rather than the nesting box ( we have 4 boxes for 8 chickens SO more than enough) we think it might be the 2 isa browns and 2 buffs because they are only 6 months old compared to the RIR who are a year and a half.
any suggestions ?
THanks
