Eggs laid from perch

[SA gardener]

Found 3 eggs this morning, one normal in the nesting box and 2 under the perch ,of those 2 : 1 was shell-less and the other was smashed ( from impact)
The shell-less egg came from a hen laying for the first time while the smashed egg came from a hen that had laid 2 other eggs previously during the day in the sand.
Should I be concerned that this hen will make this a habit (laying from its perch at night) ?

try putting some fake eggs or easter eggs in the nesting box where you wan them to lay. This will teach them to lay in the nesting box. Make sure you have calcium available to them to help with the soft eggs. Good luck, Avery
