Although this is not all that important my mind is very inquisitive about everything chickens and so here goes: How come Eggs laid in a nesting box with a lot of fresh pine shavings are always super clean and eggs laid in nesting box with very little shavings have poop and other discoloration? is there a good technical reason?thank in advame for your help
 
Perhaps the clean birds are using the clean boxes, and the dirty poopy birds are making the boxes dirty and disheveled. Some of my hens are just dirty, some seem a bit more concerned about their hygiene, and are cleaner, I have a couple that poop every time they lay an egg, hate when I reach in and I grab the poop with the egg.
