Need more ideas

20 years ago

Many of you have had great ideas for getting hens the message as to what the nest boxes are for. Ours are fully free range and they only go into their coop at night and are closed in. We have the nest boxes in there and as yet they haven't even checked them out.

They are only a few weeks from laying age and I can see problems since they all have their favorite places to sleep under trees, bushes and in among my daylilies. I have hay in the nest boxes but have yet to find a feather or poo on the roosts going in to them. Do you think we will have a problem because of the freedom they have had?
