So when the coop was built the builder left some open spaces that I wasn't aware of. The chicks love to fly to the highest place in the coop to sleep which is a ledge at the top where the roof meets the walls. One night one of them managed to squeeze in a small space and got herself wedged up in the highest peak of the roof corner. I was worried she might get caught on a nail because I did notice some poking out where they had used really long nails and they went all the way through the wall and they hadn't smashed them down or cut them. I had to call the contractor to come and get the bird out. They ended up having to remove the soffit and a couple trim boards to get her from the outside.
Lesson learned. I went and picked up a couple rolls of window screen and screened the entire top of the cop so they can't get up there. Now they get on the ledges over the windows and along the walls but they are safe and there's no where to go other than the ledge.
Tell me why I built roosts for them to sleep on?
