My chickens seem to lay where ever the feel like it and it is like an easter egg hunt trying to find their eggs! I cant afford to buy a proper one and have no time to make one. Suggestions?

I have seen nesting boxes made from everything. Five gallon buckets laying on their side with bricks to keep them from rolling, put straw in and you have a nesting box. It really doesn't matter what they are so long as they give the hen a little privacy, have straw (and maybe a golf ball or fake egg), are lower than the roosts and a little off the floor. One box for every 5 hens though you may find that they all want to use the same nest.My chickens seem to lay where ever the feel like it and it is like an easter egg hunt trying to find their eggs!
