Hello Everyone, I recent build a new coop and current have some questions about the height for the roost...
I currently have a roost that is 5 inches off the ground and about 4 feet long. I have a nice heat lamp on one end of the roosting bar since they have only just recently started using coop.
Now...I also have a window in the coop... under the window I have small platform.
The 5 chicks seem to ignore the roost and spend the night in front of window looking out to see what is going on and sleeping there.
My question... do chickens in enjoy looking out window? Are the not using the roost sine the window platform is higher? is this normal..
Just looking for some feedback from others...
