Coop Almost Finished, Now A Few Questions...

Our girls came to live with us yesterday....



Here is a picture of the inside of the coop, looking in from the back door. We have put a nice nesting box in, and the ventilation is along the top of the roof and the bottom of the floor, as well as the pop door being ventilated.




Within an hour of them coming home, the first hen laid this egg:


and 30 minutes later the other hen laid her egg.

It was a rainy dreary day, but their run stayed dry and they seemed to like it. When it started getting dark, they went into the coop by themselves, and I locked them in. This morning one was roosting on the roost pole, but the other had been sleeping in the nesting box. How do I keep them from sleeping there? Remove it at night? It was afternoon when they laid their eggs yesterday, so will they always lay around the same time? Still lots to learn.

Thanks!
