I have 17 free range chickens which 16 of those should start laying soon. 1 is a roo. So I found eggs today in the "hidden nest" which is under a tree. I am unsure if only one is laying there or if there are 4 laying there. There are 4 older than the rest. So I found 10 eggs in the nest. What I want to know is, is there a way to coax them into the nest boxes that are in the coop? The coop is not far from any point they would be in the back yard, I just think they want to lay outside, I want inside. I do not want to have to go looking everyday for eggs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I actually do not mind having them outside as long as I know where the nests are, which is not always what the chicken may want! Thanks for your help! Jolene
