Why Dont They Lay In The Box?

[chayton]

I have several pullets thst are starting to lay. I have provided 5 nesting boxes and the 3 that have started laying prefer to lay in the corner of the coop and dont pay any attention to the boxes. Should I be concerned and is there something I can do to make them use the nest boxes??

There is no need to be concerned, thats just where they want to lay their eggs.

Put golf balls in the nest boxes so they can see where eggs are supposed to go. It may take them a couple weeks to start getting all of the eggs in the nest boxes. Right now they're confused about the whole process but they'll figure it out.
