Mine chickens are about 10 weeks old and just started to roost every night about 2 weeks ago. I was worried too but they figured it out.
How old are your chicks?
I just named one of my RIR Abagail!
My others are Gracie, Trouble, Shadow, Mr. Cogburn with 3 more to name!
I take my time so I can give their personality the best fit!
I went out to talk to my chickens tonight and to make sure they were ok with it being their second night without the warming light. They were all happily chirping with all 8 of them roosting
I have 8 - 9 week old chickens and sometimes they will eat the pine shavings of their bedding. Is this ok or are they eating the pine shavings because they need something in their diet?
