one of my chickens suddenly changed her nest box

Chickens will change it up for no discernable reaaon sometimes. I have a 6-nest laying condo plus three half milk crates plus two wooden nest boxes with roofs for our main flock of 16 hens to choose from. They use the lower right and upper middle of the nest condo, the wooden box on the right, and one milk crate. And the floor of the coop. And under the tractor bucket. And in the weeds against the fence. Some days, all the eggs will be in two or three places; next day, it's a scavenger hunt. Day after, all eggs will be in the nest condo.

I wish mine would find a place and just stick to it.
Well mine do not free range, so I have that advantage, at least.
