i have 7 hens and they have been laying off and on for sometime now i was just wondering if there were any special accommodations that i need to make, like nesting boxes on the ground or just keep letting them roam about untill they find a suitable place to nest?
 
I have two Muscovy females that room with my chickens. They lay in the boxes, or on the coop floor or wherever... They are not as prolific as the chickens. I don't think they are really fussy from my experience. Good luck!
 
Mine always find a suitable place, then lay until they want to set. One of my hens just started sitting on 15 eggs a few days ago.

I've never had an issue with getting them to set, but maybe yours want more secluded nesting areas? Mine always go into the darkest and most secluded areas of the barn.
