I have checked through the BYC site, but I can't find anything on this question.
My hens are six months old, and they are consistently laying. Often, we are finding them in the nesting boxes, apparently laying. But, when I come back and they have left the box, there are sometimes no eggs! Is this a bad habit? Will this discourage them from laying in the boxes? What should I do?
