Install nesting boxes before laying?

[jmeeter88]

Should I install nesting boxes for the birds before they are laying, or would that just confuse them and complicate things?

Yea you should put them in before laying and let them know what they are. If you put them in just when they start laying they may be afraid of them and go lay in an area they know well.

Oh I see, then I should get out my pencil and drawing board...
