I have 4 new hens and 2 started laying already (5 days ) but in the corner of the co-op not in the nesting boxes.. I used large buckets to make the nesting boxes but they are about 13 in across and 20 in deep. will they eventually move into the boxes or did I do something wrong? Please help! also they seem to lay in the afternoon, is that odd?
 
To encourage laying in nesting boxes, you might want to put a golf ball or wooden egg in the box. They will lay where the other "eggs" are. It doesn't really matter the time they lay. It changes day to day.
