Hey everyone,
I have been noticing when I shut the chickens in at night, none of them are on the roost like they usually are. It is dark out when I shut them in, usually around 8:30. In the morning, I open their door at around 6:30, when it’s still a little dark out. They still are not on their roost in the morning. One of them, a chantecler, has been laying on their “nest” on the floor in front of the heat lamp (they don’t use the nesting boxes.) However, she was not doing that in the winter, where it gets down to -10. The others are just spread out on the floor. Is something wrong with them? Or am do they just go up late and come down early and I’m not noticing it? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
