I have just picked up three silkies; two hens and one rooster. Their old coop did not have a roost, the new one does. The chickens are about 1 year old; can I teach them to use the roost? Is it a bad idea to just plop them on the roost? There are no other chickens to lead by example right now. Lastly, is there a typical adjustment period after which I can assume they are settled in, and what I am seeing is typical behaviour? Thank you!!
