They have been in the coop and run for 5 weeks now, It is so cloudy today when I went out at 6am they were just beginning to get down from the roost, something I have been wanting to watch. I adjusted how they got up there by watching. I have two roost equal height, first is 12" from wall the other is 12" away from that one, they are about 40" high. So most did okay, flew right towards the door to the run, landed just before it and out the door. Two that didn't bother to come to the front roost crashes into the branch they use as a ramp to get up. (it's in front if the front roost and they tried to fly under the front roost and hit it. One of my Welsummers went from the front roost but grazed the front wall. And my little silkie was the last, and she struggled and struggled to make the leap, when she did she hit the wall above the door! Jumped up and ran outside. I feel mike it need to put a scrunchey in her top knot and get it out of her eyes! My coop is 8x8 I have seen higher roost in ones that size, what do I do?
