I'm not having that problem, I was just worried about it because they were sleeping in nest boxes and about to start laying. They are roosting now so I'm a happy camper

I really wasn't worried about them roosting. I was worried about them sleeping in nest boxes and breaking eggs. My nightmare was egg eating chickens. Everyone said if that happens then you have to get rid of them. Boy that would be crazy my whole flock

where the roost bars are not the problem. One is 12" off the ground and the other is 24" off the ground. I'm telling you some chickens just are not too smart and you have to teach them.

Ok, at what age will they decide ? Mine were 20 weeks old. They were laying in the nest boxes. At 22 weeks two started laying eggs !! I have six total. I think you have to teach them sometimes unless they have older ones to follow.

I had the same problem of them not using roost bar. I put them on it every night. it took about a week before they got the hang of it. I guess I had to be the mom and show them. LOL
