Sorry I am so late responding. My hens have nest boxes in their coop, which is portable. Wherever the coop is, they go to roost in it and go lay in their nest boxes. The hens adapt much more quickly than one would think. I wash my eggs with a very dilute solution of organic soap and water. I keep the nest boxes bedded with wood chips, and then hay on top. the hens seem to like the hay best. The boxes stay very clean but I add fresh hay when they have wallowed down to the chips. The free range eggs are awesome and so easy to do. I really enjoy my hens!
