New eggs. All over the coop

[Mheitor]

I have six golden comets found one egg in the yard so I kept them in the run for most of yesterday. I've put golf ball in the nesting boxes with plenty of hay/wood chips. They keep scatchong it out onto the floor along with the golf ball. Found an egg on the floor this morning. Other than fixing the area daily and replacing the golf ball any tips? Also the first solid egg I found in the coop is very pretty but small will the get bigger as the girls mature?

The eggs will increase in size as the pullets get further into their laying cycle. Put a higher lip on the nest boxes so that they can not kick out the nesting material.

New layers can be quite goofy acting, they don't know what they are doing at first and can be confused and anxious, it can take up to a month or so before they get it all figured out. Putting some fake eggs or golf balls in the nest might help show them where to lay. They may scratch around in the nests for weeks before laying. Meanwhile, eggs everywhere, some of them can be rather funky looking, soft or thin shelled, huge double yolked eggs
