I have more than enough space for my hens to lay but they seem intent on fighting or pushing each other out of two nests in the coop. They generally fight over the two spaces closest to the walls. The neighbor that I received them from had very small cubbies for them the lay in and she had 16 chickens and six nest boxes.
Each of these gals has a space of 12"x18" to use in my coop, but no.
Should I have partitions in between all the nests to make them more like they had at their previous home?
Also, should they sleep in a different place than they lay?
Thanks...BYC is the bomb!
