@ChrisGrowingOrganic I was concerned after reading your comment, although
our flock was already used to straw. So far, the older girls are laying in
the boxes, and altho I’ve found an egg here and there from the new Ladies,
they are moving to the box as well. Thanks for giving me the heads up on
that!

@prou2bhispana There’s no need to heat it. Here in NE USA although it gets
very cold, their body heat and the coop itself keeps them warm. We also
have chickens that are bred for colder areas.

with all that nice soft straw on the floor you might have a hard time
keeping them eggs in the boxes.
