That is still a bit early. She'll figure it out on her own. Ideally, she'll learn from the rest of the flock. The roo, if he is a newby to the flock may be having to sort out his placement within the flock. You have given no details so far about your set up so anything I can tell you would really be a shot in the dark. The size of the flock, the number of hens versus roos, the size of the coop and placements of the roosts, all have a part in the equation of why they may not be roosting yet.

Ok... I'm still fine tuning their coop but I have added a 5 ft tree limb to roost that sits on big square blocks of wood about 4 ft off the grown, yet they never use them... They would rather sit on top of their nesting boxes or on the ledge of the coop. I have picked everyone up an put them on it, they sit for a minute then hop off and fly run to sit on top of nesting boxes. I'm incorporating a sand pit next week and will add a roost there also a d then I'm going to also change nesting boxes to hanging on the wall. They enjoy just laying in the dirt... What am I doing wrong???
