Yes you can put straw in the hen boxes. Its provides a comfy nest for them to lay in. The more you put in the better. We have chickens and we find that if we don't have enough straw in our her boxes they dig down through it and start scraping the bottom of the box which isn't as comfy for them. Hope this has helped.

Straw is one of the best beddings, woodchips can and are used and so is fresh hay but straw is much more absorbent and results in easier clean up.
