So today after I posted this thread I went up to look in on the chickens. At that point they had deposited 2 eggs in one nest box. I moved one egg into another box and left the coop. I just went back a bit ago and they had played more eggs in both boxes and another in one more. I am not sure if seeing the eggs in the other nests encouraged more laying but I have gotten more eggs today than I have on any other day this week.
