"Do you have nest boxes? I have found with mine that they prefer to either dig a bowl in the soft dirt around the garden plants, or settle in to the nest boxes lined with hay or straw."

Hi, Lisa! I just tweeted a link to your chicken question, so here's hoping we get more eyes (belonging to experienced chicken keepers, which I am not) on your post. I'll keep you updated on what I hear from the twitterverse, and, in the meantime, you might want to post this same question in the Backyard Chickens group, just in case the chicken experts see it there first. We'll get this solved! A girl needs her eggs!
