How do i get my silkie to roost?

[Poulets De Cajun]

you could always make her a nice comfy hutch inside the house and take her in at night.....

what I did was built 2 hole, wooden nesting boxes and put them about 2 1/2 to 3 feet high. My silkies really like it. And I have some in dog houses.

I placed wooden boxes in y coop for my Silkies to sit on. They love them!

They might use her box, but It dosen't have to be as big as a layer box. that may help
