    should i insist they sit on roost

    im just wondering if a daily routien for chickens is necessary or is it better to have no routien. Example: one morning out of coop and run to free range at 6am, the then next morning at 7am etc. Does that mess with them or is this 'no' routien better. They always have access to coop, food...

    ok, 4 of my 19week old 'laying' hens sit happly on their roost. two prefer to just sit behind them on the floor (well, it's not quite floor, it's just beside the roost by a few inches) Then, i have two one and a half yr old EE's, one on a roost one off. So, my question is, i read all the...
