Both times they’ve done it, the nesting chicken has gone in the box while it’s still light out, before the others come into the coop for the night... So it’s the opposite.Maybe it's too dark and she don't want to try the hop up, I dunno.
I have two cameras in the coop - one looking at the roost, and the other looking at the nesting box. And an automatic door. So I don’t go out to lock them up for the night, but I do check both cameras around their bedtime, to make sure everybody is in and accounted for. And if I see one in the box, I take her out so she wouldn’t poop in there all night.
