I have built an attic for chickens to lay eggs in our Paravali farms during my last trip home. Now I can see, hens are using it to lay eggs on the designated containers.

Generally, chickens (Hens) prefer places which are higher and safer from predators to lay eggs but often times they lay eggs on top of improper structures resulting the egg falling on the ground and you know what happens to the egg thereafter (guess someone needs to teach the chickens about gravity, lol!). So in our farm, inside a hut, they have placed coconut leaves (or branches) in some sort of structure but it didn’t help as it was poorly constructed.
