Hi all have a stupid question??
I'm the one with 60+ plymouth rock chicks. I've opened the whole coop except the nesting boxes to my just under two week old chicks. This morning when i went into the coop one of the chicks was on the roosts I have for them when they get older (or so I thought??).
My question: Could they hurt themselves getting down off the roost its 18" of the ground? I know this might sound stupid, but I just want to keep them safe
My roosts are 2"X4" on there sides so my girls will be able to sit on there feet in the winter as I'm in Canada and the winters are cold!
There is 4" of shavings on the floor also and yes the roosts are still 18" off the ground with the four inchs of shavings!!
Thanks in advance for everyones help!!
Blessings,
Jeremy
