    Not sleeping on the roost

    My 4 buff Orpington hens are 11 months old. When I created their coop the roost was too small. As they got larger one of them decided to sleep in the nest box.

    9 week old chickens won’t go into coop

    9 week old chickens won’t go into coop

    That seems a little drastic. Should I put a light in the coop or leave them in the dark?

During that time they went into the coop at night twice. The rest of the time the huddle at the slider...
