We are the proud owners of 13 pullets. We have our coop setup and all has been well however regardless of the roosting space available they insist on sleeping on the top roost. All night long, some will only have standing room, others sleep on the edges, some are so close they have to spread their wings out over adjacent sisters.
Here is a pic from our webcam showing an example. Sometimes one will carefully balance on the edge of the windowsill. The one on the lower rung will eventually jam herself into the crowd. The process goes on for hours.
Is this normal? Will they eventually divide up and spread out on both roosts? I can't imagine they are getting a good nights sleep!
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks,
Laith
