Rocc, I'm a little concerned for your hens. They like to lay their eggs in an isolated dark place. Those nest boxes look a bit too exposed and sunny. I would build a little wall about 12 inches in front of the boxes and put a steep roof from that wall to the back of the boxes. Also are the nest raised off of the floor. They also like that, though they will lay right on a pile of hay or straw. Mainly, though they like the secluded darker areas.
