TADA! Just went out to check on the girls (and Charlie) and guess what!! They are roosting!! Well, 'cept not on the nice, carefully placed roost we provided for them - even though we followed all advice on placement, size, height - all of it. They have chosen to roost on the 2x4 cross pieces in the coop framing. Yep, scattered all over the place on short little framing pieces against the sides of the coop like bad chicken wallpaper. There were a couple on the frame above the east window, a few more on the frame above the south window, some on the cross pieces above where the nest boxes will go - all tucked into their chosen bits of framing just as content as can be. How in the world do you put a poop board under every framing cross piece in the entire coop?almost 6 weeks old now, they been roosting by themselves about 3 nights now. im really happy now.
