If they aren't silkies, or some breed that doesn't roost, you need to put them on the roosts after they settle down for the night.

I wouldn't. If they sleep in them you could close them at night, but open during the day so they can check them out and get used to them. Are they sleeping on the roosts? you want them to be, when laying starts. You can set them up there every night at dark if they are not.

They usually start laying at 18 to 22 weeks.
