How do I know when to add nesting boxes??

[jgarreth]

My hens are about 13 weeks old right now and we removed the nesting boxes from the coop because they were sleeping/pooping in the boxes. How will we know when it's time to put them back in? There wasn't a way for me to block them off so I just took them out.

Thanks!

you can wait another month. their combs will start getting red just before point of lay
