Last week we put our 9 week old chickens(4 of them) and 6 week old duck in their new coop. Instead of the chickens sleeping on the roosting bar they sleep in a box with the duck on the ground, all snuggled together. I know they know how to use the bar because I had a smaller one in their old home. I even placed the smaller bar in the coop and they won't use it.
Should I leave them be and let them figure it out or start putting them on the roosting bar every night? Thanks for any advice.
