Question by Daniel: Why wont my chickens lay their eggs in their nest box?
I have 4 chickens and 2 nest boxes. Up until recently they have been using it. Now I can see them fly out of the fence into my backyard and go behind a plank of wood that is leaning up against my house to lay their eggs. Why are they doing this?
