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.
