SOMEBODY won't use the nesting box!

Some of my 6 chickens started laying eggs this week! Exciting! I have 4 gold stars, 1 plymouth barred and 1 easter egger. This a.m. was the 2nd time I found eggs inside the door of the tractor coop. Of course they were cracked and pecked at. The shells on these were thin but the insides were beautiful and my dogs enjoyed them! I put some crushed oyster shell free choice by their feeder.
I have gotten 2 eggs from the nesting area. I am wondering if I should make a next box where the other eggs were found? I put golf balls in the nests.
I really didn't expect eggs this soon! I got my girls as chicks May 3rd!

Congrats on the eggs! Putting golf balls in the nest box should help "show" them where you want them to lay. Also make sure the nest box is semi-dark inside.
