thank you all for the welcome! I appreciate every piece of advice. I will take photos. We did just get 3 barn cats 2 days ago to try to help us get this under control. We used to have a farm dog but the rat/vole problem has gotten out of hand in his absence.

I am new to caring for chickens. I've been on the farm for two years but only recently became responsible for the chicken coop. Everything has gone well until recently, and when I was researching my problem I found this site.
I will have to learn a lot more about what kind of chickens we have...
