2. Place the boxes in a quiet, private area of the coop, away from high traffic. Chickens prefer a peaceful environment for laying eggs, so avoid spots that are too bright or noisy.

3. Use soft, clean bedding like straw or hay to make the boxes comfortable. Avoid materials that can be too abrasive or retain moisture.

4. Ensure the boxes are easily accessible for both the hens and you. Consider designing them so you can easily check for eggs from outside the coop and clean them out as needed.

5. Make sure the nesting boxes are secure from predators. Use Chicken Coop Nesting Box Ideas, Egg Laying Boxes, Chicken Nesting Box Ideas, Nesting Boxes For Chickens, Chicken Laying Boxes, Clean Bedding, Duck Coop, Chicken Nesting Boxes, Clean Bed
