    Sometime back I had an issue with a stray kitten. She made her home in my chicken barn. She stays with the chickens where ever they go. In the run, she is there. In the woods, she is there. Too bad she doesn't lay eggs. I don't have a problem with mice/rats so I guess she is earning her keep...

    New boxes.

    I have some new roosting boxes (once my husband puts the dividers in I will have some new boxes). I was wondering if I take the old boxes out would that mess up my layers? I know they have there own boxes now that they like to sit in. I don't want to do anything to harm them.
