Do Chickens care if multiple nests are divided?

Thanks to predators and downsizing, I'm down to 3 breeds I just lost a great Ancona hen, Jaerhon hen and a White Minorca hen to raccoons.
I decided that I only had room to do one breed justice. So for the last 3 years, the only roosters I've had are Black Penedesencas and all the hens except for a Jaer and an Ameraucana are Penedesencas.
Growing up we had only leghorns for eggs, Cornish for meat and a few pheasant but we always had about 100 layers.
I've had as many as 24 breeds at one time.
In my middle years, I had none
When I retired, I worked with Scarlet and Great Green Macaws in Costa Rica. Everyone there had chickens and nobody needed an alarm clock due to roosters. I quickly grew to like that lifestyle. When I got home, I wanted to learn a lot more about chickens than I already did so I started branching out to other breeds.

That is very interesting. I have been the only one in my family that really "enjoys" raising chickens. That must have been nice to grow up with them though. Slowly, I am winning my family over with my "girls"

Don't worry - I have 9 girls, with only 2 laying at the moment

Yeah haha. How old are they?

I have 7 POL girls, with my 2 Wellies being the only ones too young to lay.
My Australorp is sick in quaratine as well.

It's winter here too, so that doesn't help things.
