Our three RIRs have a nice house with a roost and a bit higher their nesting boxes. They are about 2 1/2 months old but they have not once gone into the nesting boxes. DOH (roughly) followed the box dimensions I gave him (found them here on this site somewhere) and they have jumped up on the perch but they don't ever fly into the boxes. We know that for sure because we piled a mound of the pine shaving bedding in the middle of each box to see if they go in it. If they would, the mounds would have gotten disturbed.
Tricky, huh?
Anyways, is it normal for them to not be in the boxes yet? Do they only seek them out when it's time to lay? I am just wondering if they can't get to them or something...
Thanks,
