By turning them into a roost...do you mean just leave them? Or do something with them? We have 16 chickens, 8 buff orpingtons and 8 ??Black Sex-links?? we think that's what they are. So we need 4 boxes? Can you link me to the easiest way to go about that?
If we just added 4 deep nest boxes on the other side of the room would they use them? How far off the ground should they hang? And what size? Is the light still necessary if they can go outside every day?
