It is a big deal to me. Sometimes if I am later than usual to go out and open the coop door, some hens have already laid their eggs. A few no-so-bright ones will lay right on top of the poo in a dirty box and to me, that egg is wasted after its been covered in poo. It goes to the dogs.
Plus, it means that I have to clean out the hay in the box and start with fresh, even if I've just changed the hay the day before.
