This was my experience also. The pots just didn't break down quickly enough.
The next year I used the rest of them, but I cut the bottom and sides before putting them in the soil.
I haven't used them since.

Naturally, several chickens have decided to shun the nesting boxes and lay on the far corner, where I have to fish them out with a fruit picker. It was a bought set of plans too, apparently not designed by someone who actually keeps chickens…

Lina, I had the exact same problem!
We have a net that we used to scoop them out of the far corner of the coop.
It was a coop I designed, so I have only myself to blame. At least it was only a 4' reach to the back of the coop.
My sister solved the problem when she made some small changes to the nesting boxes and all of a sudden the chickens love them.

Also, you might want to check out Carolina Coops on Youtube. He's got videos about why he builds his coops a certain way. I found it very helpful when designing my coop and run.

If you're building your own coop, you'll need to customize it. It won't be a once and done coop, more like a slow-running project.
I've built two coops for my chickens. The first was very basic and I knew it had flaws. As it was breaking apart about 18 months in, I built a second coop and improved the run it was attached to. Since then, we've steadily fixed and improved it.

Side note about predators, we didn't think much of a squirrel who found a way into the run. Until a racoon got through the same gap.

Just found a related thread about the safety of wood cutting boards:

I didn't read the whole thread. But it sounds like a wash with soapy water followed by quick drying may be sufficient.

I had to do something like this, except it was my own cutting board that I let get stained and maybe a few spots of mold.
I cleaned it with salt and a little lemon juice. The salt was only damp so it stayed gritty and scoured everything that wasn't absorbed in the wood.
After that I sanded the surface until it was much lighter and clean looking, then coated it with mineral oil. I need to recoat it every few months to keep it looking oiled.
I picked mineral oil because I was sure it was food-grade and was easy to work with. I got it from a pharmacy.

I TOTALLY wouldn't do it but I have heard of someone who just keeps adding an additional "*" character to their usual go-to password every time.

My first employer had a rule that the password couldn't be any of the last 4 passwords, which ruled out adding the season to the end of my password. So I added the number of times I needed to change my password instead.

I think all of these will result in good passwords.
The US government used recommend a lot of complex password rules, but recently scrapped all of it in favor of a simpler recommendation (NIST SP800-63b):

Go long. At least 8 characters.
