love it! they are so particular! we have two nest boxes ours like--nice and deep bedded and hidden behind a pallet so nice and dark. but too many hens for just those two so we added three more but it's too bright and exposed out there for them, so they hardly use them. They started laying on a bale of hay that was covered by a canvas sheet. The overwhelming favourite of all the hens and the ducks turns out to be a speaker box that G converted to a nest box--we brought it from vic! I really should patent that design... Glad you're getting so many eggs now! hens and their free will....
