My Hen Sleeping/pooping in nesting box

[Mrs. K]

When they molt, they don't like others touching them. I have one pitiful, pin feathers sticking out all over and she is roosting in the nest. I left her, poor thing, she looks like something the cat drug in.

I have 10 hens. Don't know if this is helpful but this is my setup for our coop. They all seem to do just fine on one roosting bar. If I did have two roosting bars, I would definitely make them the same height.

Thanks so much! We did actually re-do a little. We raised the second roosting bar to the same height and all is well in the hen house again! Yayyyy
