    At what age do they begin to roost at night?

    Quote: Yep, they'll figure it out in their own time. I only had one roosting last night and the others were in "the pile". Let us know when they begin.

    At what age do they begin to roost at night?

    Oh my gosh!!! My chickens are starting to roost! Most of them are in a pile in the corner, but there are a few who are roosting. But they all want to roost in the same 12" space on the roost board. Silly chickens... Oh and my rooster crowed a REAL crow yesterday morning. He even crowed at...

    Quote: Go to a forum, for instance this one is: Chicken Behaviors and Egglaying. Instead of clicking on a topic, look over to the far right and you will see a blue block with blue letters that says "post new topic". Click on that and ask away!

    At what age do they begin to roost at night?

    My 10 BO and 5 GLW chicks will be 9 weeks old tomorrow. My coop isn't completed yet so I built an 8x8x5' pen for them to stay in until the coop is finished. It has old lawnmower wheels on it so it can be moved around. I guess you'd call it a tractor of sorts. (thanks lildinkem for your help...
