I have 5 sex link laying hens and have a problem (I think). We got them about 2 months ago and they all adapted to the coop and the roost inside with the on problem. However for the last 4 nights 1 hen has decided to sleep under the roost on poop and under another chicken. So for the last 4 nights I have put her up on the roost and she stays there.Tonight (5th night) I looked in coop and there she was sleeping down below the roost again on the poop board.The roost is about 10 inches above the poop board. So I left there her and fear that maybe she's hurt. What I can't figure out is why all of a sudden she changed her habit on going up on the roost. Also wonder if the other hens are crowding her out on the roost and preventing her from getting a spot (maybe being mean to her). Help and opinion needed. TIA, Ken
