So I have a cuckoo maran that will not go to roost at night and I'm not sure why.
All the others fly up, she stays down below.
Not on the ground, I have a shelf midway up that runs the length of the coop.
Plenty of room up top for her and extra roosting board available.
They are spaced at least 16" from other boards so I don't think she could be picked on.
Sad to say she is kinda an outcast that spends time away from the others.
Our roo will go hang out with her and keep her company. And if she hollers he goes running.
She's not picked on by the other hens and will eat treats in the middle of everyone with no issue. It's just free ranging she hangs out alone a lot and won't roost with the others.
Should I be concerned?
