Nesting box habits

[Christopher28fair]

No matter how many chickens you have, if you have three nesting boxes, at some point at least two hens will crowd into one box.

It can happen...rare here with 4 nests and fake eggs in all them...plus tighter entrances for not so easy access.

I wrote a thread about my experience last week. I left a real egg in the unused box and a hen moved the egg into the box my four birds prefer to do their laying in.
