I use strips of newspapers about an inch never buy newspapers people donate they are easy to get rid of compost heap or bury them with the poo ready for veg or apples trees etc or burn the paper if it's got red mites ! My chickens love newspaper warmer healthier than straw and cheaper dosnt cost me nothing ! I get an average 7 eggs a day with 12 chickens right through winter as well summer average 9funny, but much truth.
if they had been using other boxes, suddenly stopped, i'd say look for mites and moisture. but new layers playing follow the leader? perfectly normal
