Hens laying in same nesting box

[CrazyChics]

I have 12 laying hens and does anyone know why they would lay in the same nesting box? One day I walked in there and 4 hens were packed in one nesting box laying

Creatures of habit. Try putting fake eggs in all nests and a few may take to a new nest.

Ok, thank you. I will try that.
