There was a roost inside my coop which is very small. The hens usually only go inside to lay. They have a covered run that they stay in. They have been there for a little over a year and have never noticed the roost inside the coop until recently. All of a sudden it was like a child with a new toy. In the middle of the day they would all go inside to get on the roost. I removed it because they were making a mess of the inside of the coop. But they are still hanging out inside the coop for long periods when they used to always be in the run unless they were laying. What does this mean? Do I need to take action of any kind?
