hi is it normal to find roosters in a nest box,last night i walked into the coop and found my two roosters and 3 hens in a 1square foot nest box it wasnt cold but my roosters are kinda like enjoying the nest box more than my hens.

Both roosters and hens like to sleep in the nesting boxes if you don't train them otherwise. This happened to me. I had to block the nest every night for more than a week before they got the idea. Now I enjoy poop free eggs.

Still very new to chickens, but wouldn't that be a way of claiming dominance and territory...a man's box is his castle.

No, not really like that with chickens. For example, my rooster gets into the nest box everyday and hollows out a nice little nest for his ladies to lay their eggs in. He clucks and chirps and gets all excited until the girls come over and check it out. I don't think they're very impressed though, bc they usually lay in the other one Poor guy! He tries real hard though!!!
