I’ve noticed my chooks dont roost in the same spot every night and most of them roosted over the tweens the past 2 night

Are your Tweens housed in that cage under them all day? If so you really need to get them out of there - it isn't adequate for them. I thought your hubby was building a new coop and run for these kiddos? They really need to be running around - this is when they develop their bones and muscles, I thought you had them running free.

Your current housing is running out of room for all your kiddos. This is why I am building the Summer House so I can house my 2 or 3 extra I am keeping. I only want around 15 total, that will be more than plenty for eggs, and my 30x60 barn in the winter.

Remember - you are the 'Mum' to all these animals - they depend upon you to ensure they have a healthy environment to develop and grow in. Just throwing food and water to them is really not enough.

Sorry if I sound tough or mean - but you are the one who brought them into this world and you are the one responsible for their total wellbeing. They need more space and to get outside. Do what I do - sit on a lawn chair and watch them run around eating bugs.

Yes, outside time is important - they need sunlight for Vitamin D. It is really important for all animals (including humans!). That is why many people who live in my area/latitude are Vit. D deficient in the winter, we are indoors working when the sun is out, so for months we go without adequate sun, and it can cause all kinds of problems - including poor calcium absorption. I have to take Vit. D supplements, and I end up doubling them in the winter to keep my Vit. D in range. :(
 
Oh I love magpies we have in Alberta and people out there don’t like them but I think they are wonderful! Cheeky little sh!ya that get into everything! Steal the guys lunches on the pipeline while working.
