My 5, 2 month old chicks have been in their coop 2 weeks, and will NOT use their roost!
They just cuddle up on the floor, like a feathery pile-o-chickens.
I have picked them up, and sat them on the roost, they walk the length of it, then jump down.
They had a little shorty roost in the brooder, and they ALL used it, but they want nothing to do with the one in the coop.
There is no ladder up to it, should I put one in?
Weirdos.
