My hens continuously refuse to lay in the egg boxes!!!!! the boxes have been attached about 6 in from the bottom of the coop to the side andthey didn't lay in them then. I took it out and they would lay on the floor,they lay in their feces, they lay in the mud, outside, in gras, in flower pots, and when i don't let them free range(which they aren't a majority of the time) they sttill lay everywhere but in the egg boxes. i recently put the boxes back in and they are no longer raised but no luck yet. could my 2 roosters have something to do with it?? do they not feel safe in the boxes? HELP!!
