Hen or Roo?

That all sounds good, not sure why she isn't perching. Where does she sleep? On the floor?
So these roosts are completely separate from each other?

Yes, she sleeps on the floor in the corner under the 7 that are on the perch. The other perch 4 feet aways stays empty

Ah, okay. I think I see what the problem could be here.
She probably sleeps underneath them and not on the perch cause there's not enough space, and she wants to be near them. She probably doesn't want to sleep alone on the other perch. Does that seem correct?

Maybe, but they all huddle and only take up half the 6 foot long perch. There is still half left. I can try to get a pic tonight. I just feel.bad for her. She isn't missing feathers and no one seems to pick on her when I'm out there. They actually seem to try and protect her. It's a puzzle.

Hu! Have you tried putting her on the perch for awhile when it's bedtime to get her used to it?

No, I will try that tonight and see what happens! And thank you so much for your help!

Great! I'd keep trying until she starts going up to perch.
