Not unusual when they first start laying lefthorn.

Ok, so now I am getting two eggs every day!! However, I have a question. My chicken house has the run/coop/laying box deal all in one. Got it from tractor supply. So, in the beginning I had the nest boxes blocked off. Once the chickens were getting close, I opened up the nests. Everything was gooing good. At night, the chickens would sleep in the house/coop part where the nest boxes are attached to. Now, all of a sudden, they are sleeping on a roosting bar in the run portion and only using the coop/house part when they lay eggs. Anything I need to worry with? They are just as safe on the roosting bar as they are in the house part since it is all caged in. I just worry when it starts to get cold, they will probably need to sleep in the house part. Should I remove roosting bar for a bit to force them into the house?
Or, am I just too worried about nothing

Where do you think "free range" chickens sleep?

Or, am I just too worried about nothing Don't over think the chickens hon. It is likely hot in the actual coop and that is why they are out of it roosting. They will go inside the coop when it gets cold. The heat will get to them worse than the cold actually. I have two LARGE fans on my outter coop area and one inside my covered coop area to keep air circulating at night for them where they roost. [I have a very large coop though, not like one you bought.]
Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

Awesome! I don't let my hens set. Last year, I let 4 set on about 20 eggs, total, and by 18-20 days, they'd all gotten tired of it and decided to do something else. Wounding up chunking almost 2 dozen eggs into the woods.

Same here this year DoA, proly chunked 4 dozen in the trash. Then the dang hens decided to hatch a couple of clutches and I still have 11 live chicks coming along.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

If mine start to get broody, now, I just bump them off the nest and take the eggs. Hasn't been a problem this year, I guess because my roo died.

If you have a black australorp, send him on! The one we had was huge, and very mild tempered and well-mannered...I don't think 'Huntress would have anything else in there. She won't abide an aggressive roo.

Every game rooster I've ever had, I shot! I had one that would see me coming and run 100 yds to pick a fight with me. I was coming back in from rabbit hunting one day, and here he comes hot-footing across the dam of the pond towards me...he didn't make it halfway!

On the opening day of dove season I'm get a call from my wife asking me when I'm coming home and I can tell she's really pissed. She went on to tell me that one of our 2 roosters flogged my 4 yo little girl and scratched her up pretty good to the point of bleeding. I tell her I'll kill him when I get home but I could tell she was fuming mad. Little bit later she calls me and said no rush to come home ,i shot that roosters ass!
I fell off my bucket laughing. You have know my wife to understand how prissy she is. She had never shot a shotgun and she had never killed anything in her 35 years of life. I got home to find a rooster shot 3 times at close range by a pissed off mama bear.
