same nest

[eliss18]

another question.

my chickens also insist on laying in the same box. even though they both have their own box.

niether seem to have a problem with it?

does anyone know why this might be happening?

LOL...i have 2 hens leave their coop during the day and lay in another nest in the other coop....4 hens laying in one nest. Makes picking up eggs easier that way!

all 6 of my laying hens lay in the same box....... I gave up trying to stop them

20 hens---8 boxes----they only use 3. usually 2 hens at a time crammed in each box!
