I know I messed them up as baby chicks, but now that 3 are 16 wks and 3 are 11 wks, they won't sleep on the roost. I left the 4 nesting boxes open, (stupid, I know) and they always try to sleep in them. So I tried to block them off by putting boards over them, but now they sleep on the boards! As soon as I take them off, they will go right back to the boxes. What can I do? How can I block them? Some will be laying soon, so I will have to let them back in. I tried going in the coop at night and placing them on the roost, but it doesn't last. ANy help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
