Two of my girls just started laying. The first egg was just inside the shed door directly in front of the nest boxes, unfortunately i stepped on it not seeing it there.
Today I had two eggs, one from the same as a few days ago and the first egg from my polish hen. They both laid there eggs in the same spot as before directly in front of the nest boxes. I purchased 4 fake rubber eggs and placed them in 4 of the six nesting boxes, sure hope they get the idea
The nest box is Opa's 6 box rollaway design. I currently have 8 hens soon to be 12 in total in a 6'x6' shed and a 30'x10' run with 6 nests, 3 on top of 3.
Will post picture tomorow of my coop setup and nesting box placement and see if I can improve it at all.
