I had 2 girls waiting this morning whilst another was in a nest box. How do you persuade them to use the empty one next door?!!!

Er...you dont

they have their favourite ones and there is no changing their mind

Thank you for this. It did look amusing as 2 of them tried sharing the one box!!

We have 3 coops, buckets, plantpots, dog kennel etc and they still line up for the cat basket that the cockerel sleeps in
