Hi all, I just recenlty made a roost for my 3 hens, they are probably around months old and have had them for 6. At frst i just let them sleep in their nesting boxes, positioned around half a metre off the ground. But now one of my hens have gone broody, so i made the roost so she would not sleep where she usually sits on the fake eggs (roost is at maximum height of the hen box) . So i have blocked off the nesting boxes, but the hens are sleeping on the ground in the corner of the coop. I dont know how to make them use the roost. they have jumped up on there a few times but have not stayed. thanks
PS. I have had the roost set up for 2 nights now.
