Not laying in coop

[feathersgalore]

My girls have stopped laying in the coop. These aren't new chickens and most are 2 years old. Recently they started laying all over the barn (loft, behind rabbit cages, in the goat pen). Nothing else has changed with their schedules or in the coop. I don't like to hunt for eggs everyday but don't want to keep them penned up either. Any suggestions?

This happened to me ONCE Lisa. I immediately got some fake eggs and put one in each nest box.I also kept the girls in there fer two days before turnin 'em loose again. I have never had a problem since.

Well I'll give it a try. Better a couple days in the pen instead of hunting eggs forever. Thanks.
