Crowing
Some info: I have too many birds in this coop. I know I do. It’s an 8x10 and I have 20 birds in there. But the village is giving me crap about having my birds and I haven’t been able to move my bantam coop yet. Not until I get this one approved and they leave me alone. So for now this is what I have to work with. I do have chicks but they are too young to rehome right now. At least according to my state law. But I am going to be downsizing since many of my chicks are male and not the direction I want to take my flock.
Will adding a roost above the nest boxes help or hurt? Will it make a bigger mess (poo on the tops of the boxes)? Will supporting the lower roost on the left help them to want to use it? Or do they not want to use it because the bigger birds pick on them?
