HI!
I am new to raising chickens and I have a coop set up and have a cabinet without doors as nesting boxes...I just bought straw to lay in them thinking my hens are going to start laying soon. They are about 20 weeks old. But once I put the star in they keep spreading it out all over the coop floor! Will they lay if the boxes are empty? They have been squawking a bunch in the morning so I am thinking they should be laying soon! What should I do? Just leave them alone?
