Nesting box preference?

[kris13]

Is this common? Ours will only lay in the final fourth nesting box. Never in the first three. They're all the same size/set up.

I have six hens. Each of them have their own box in the coop. Yet they only lay eggs in one or two boxes. Once in awhile they lay at the other end of the coop. Normal or common ? At my place it is.

Extremely common. It’s not unusual for you to get most or all of your eggs in just one nest. Sometimes for mine the favorite nest is the same nest every day, but sometimes it can change to a different nest. Sometimes the eggs are pretty evenly spread out between the nests. They are going to lay where they are going to lay for their own reasons.
