If you can put your hand under it where they sat and not feel the heat, you need to lower it. They might not need it that much anyway but I would still lower it some.It is possible that its too highbut they were raised by a broody hen and it was really cold when I picked them up. Also most of the time they run around the bathroom pecking at everything

I REALLY like Fabio!! So unique.. sexy chicken!
The key to potty training is to get them to be aware of when they are pooping.. so you need to be holding them a lot, but before a bird poops their feet get HOT.. like noticeable increase quickly, then they will fluff just a bit before squatting. At that moment, say poop, or whatever you want, and hold them over the area you want them to poop on, or OFF the area you don't want them to poop on. Soon they will "notice" the pattern... so youre really just helping them to be aware a pile is about to come out of their butt.. some birds get it.. some don't. I had ZERO luck at all w Elsa (bantam cochin) but the D'uccles did figure it out, enough to not poop on my couch. Ive had some parrots that figured it out, some that learned to say poop, but not be potty trained, and some that were oblivious. But chickens are just as smart!I found a great article on that. Im starting to think that even the broody will reject thenm.Ill have to try. If not Im going to keep them inside and potty train them. They are already proving to be one of my sweetest boys
Sadly, I do not. I switched phones and lost a lot of photos when I did.Do you hlave a pic of him?
