My new 16 week old hens are laying on the floor inside the coop and not using the nest boxes, any suggestions on how to encourage them to use the boxes. I've made them 14" on all sides and raised off the floor but lower than the perches. Maybe I'm just being impatient as this is only my 3 rd egg in three days layed o the floor and only 2 of my 12 hens are laying right now.
