I have 5 hens around 12 weeks old. They've been in the coop/ run for a few weeks. They will move from the run to the coop at/ before dark, but won't get on the roost. I go out after dark, open the door, and shine a flashlight up to light the roost, and one by one they jump up, and stay for the...
I am brand new, and just moved my girls into their coop. It may sound silly, but I'm wondering if there is a way to coax the hens to all sit on the roost in one direction. I hoped to put a poop board or clean-out tray under the back side, but I get two lines of poop instead of one.
