Well I have a little question. I have about 19 hens and a roo. I want to redo my coop since I have gotten more but I don't know how I want to do it. I like how my coop is now but I have just a little problem. All my hens don't like to roost up on the sticks that I have up in the coop. They roost over their nest boxes and poop in them which means I have to clean in out a lot more than I usually do. Before I got all the new ones all my hens would roost on the sticks but since I've gotten more its like they just roost wherever they fly up at. How can I get them to stop roosting in the nest boxes and start roosting on the sticks. Also how many nest boxes should I have? I believe I might have to many. I will try to post some pics up later so you can see my coop.

They do it every time I put new straw in and it aggravates me to death because if there isn't no straw in the boxes then they somehow crack their eggs.
