OK So I wonder if this will be a problem. I have one long box with no separators...

I only have 1 box, so I don't know for sure. Some chickens need privacy and you might need to add a couple of dividers. Would be very easy with thin plywood, paneling or even cardboard. Other chickens wil pop one out wherever they are at the moment with no privacy concerns.

Dividers might also keep a bird from "hogging" the whole thing and keeping other hens out. Can be a real pain if one goes broody.
