Thanks for your advice! I totally agree about raising the fronts to keep the bedding separate from the nest boxes, that’s a smart idea. I was a little disappointed in that aspect of the coop, as it leaves little room for deep litter both in front of the boxes and at the doorways.Ditto Dat.
Also might want to add a higher front to nest(4-6" above bedding), and pack down the bedding... tho they will likely tear it up at first, that will subside as they get used to laying.
A fake egg in each nest might also be good.
I may order some fake eggs soon. I had thought about it, but figured it was only necessary if they lay in the wrong place first. I guess it could be motivating too!
