New to chickens and ours do the same. Is there a problem with letting them rest/sleep in the boxes?

> So, my hens like sleeping in their nest box where they then poop all night. They have a roost pole but never use it. Tonight, I've tried moving them out and blocking the opening to the nest box. Boy were they pissed. Any other ideas on how to get them to roost instead? Oh, it might help to show you my coop....
