I have 3 (3yr old) ladies and 5 (13 week old) young ladies. I have a fairly large run and have sectioned off an area for the younger ones since they were about 8 weeks old. It includes its own coop with roosts. It doesn’t have nesting boxes though. All of the ladies have been able to see each other for weeks and just the past week I have been keeping the door open and allowing them all to mingle. The problem is at night my young ones still roost in the small coop and do not go in the coop with the older ladies. Is there a way to make them all roost together or will I have to keep two separate roosts? Also will I need to make nesting boxes in the smaller coop or will the ladies know to go inside the older ladies coop for laying when it’s time?
