The branches touching the Pretties coop are usually 8 feet off the ground.

@BY Bob if you have any trouble with the tree let me know. Rich works for a tree company and they'll have everything taken care of in no time.
Good to know. Stay safe up there. I may want the tree trimmed next year anyway.
 
Happy Friday

Sounds like you are off to a good start. Roosting together is the hardest thing. As you know I still have issues.
Strangely I don’t usually have too much trouble with this aspect, but I have much more roosting space available, most of the time.
I'm looking at this from my PC now, and I can report that I think one or more of the Buckeyes was definitely doing that, one (Hazel?) was pecking several times at the fence, and there was pecking around at the ground in between. I didn't put them together at the time. It looked like she was testing the fence; it was new and I attributed it to that. Queenie did it once that I saw. Thank you, @BY Bob and @Shadrach !
Do you think it was maybe Hazel that was running back and forth between Queenie and the roosting box? I have a few hens like this, and my roosters do it as well, refusing to go up for the night until everyone is in... sometimes getting distressed if a chicken is out and can’t figure a way in. (Sometimes a girl will get on the wrong side of a fence, and not be able to get with their flock at roosting time until the big pink skinned rooster comes to the rescue)
 
Happy New year everyone! I am still 2000 pages behind, having started from the beginning 😁 but wanted to say hi, speed reading my way through as best I can the last 2 days. You all thought you talked a lot the first year year!
