First time raising chickens, mine are just starting to lay. We decided to do one 24 wide, 12 high nest box. I read and a lot of people said the separation isnt neccesary as they often lay in same spot. Now I am wondering if that is why I have one laying in the nest box and one laying all over the place. They are not laying at the same time of day, but I am second guessing if I need a smaller space to offer. The nest box is attached ( access from outside coop) it's dark /cozy enough, but it's 24" wide, slanted top etc.
I have 3 more ready to lay soon, have to wait and see where they end up laying.
I'd rather not have to hunt for eggs in a poopy coop or on the run floor if I can make it happen by adjusting the nest box. any thoughts?
