Hey all....
I have 16 chickens that have finally started laying nicely. I have 8 assorted nesting boxes for them. I left an open bag of pine shavings in the coop and they all love laying their eggs in there. The problem is they they wait to use it and sometimes I have seen 3 of them trying to get in all at once. It's quite comical, but I'm wondering if I should get rid of the bag so they will use the boxes or just let them have it and figure it out for themselves. They do squabble over it.
Thanks!
