My rooster has decided to sleep under the stars!

Tino has decided to teach is girls to sleep on the roof, we had to take down a support beam, and hand them down every night. The girls have learned to sleep in the coop. Tino has not. He usually can be taken down, but last night we ccouldn't take him down. We locked his girls up desperate, Wich really made him angry, any other tips, we will see if that worked. But any other tips would be great.

We have a long handled fish net from the sporting goods store, very handy in emergencies.
If your bird isn't in a predator safe situation every night, he won't be out there for long!
Do try to get him somewhere safer ASAP.
Is your coop the problem? How about some pictures, and dimensions, and how many birds?

Is this the male chick you posted about very recently?

This is the tread I am recalling.

If possible, I would lock him and the girls up for a bit so they know where they're supposed to sleep.

So a very young cockerel?

Yeah stuff his brazen butt in the coop so he learns that is where to sleep.

Speaking of coop.....sometimes there is a real reason they don't sleep inside. Pics of your set up and number of birds will help. We may see something that is easy to fix that is stopping him/them from sleeping inside.

Ok I can get that in a second.

That block isn't usually there, but I need to keep the rooster out of my way lol.

What dimensions is it?

Pics of the outside where the lil guy is choosing to roost and farther back to show more of the inside please.

I see you have a nice window installed. Any vents to go with it?

No but it is always open. 8×4. I can get more pics in a little bit.
