I have buff orpingtons about 8 weeks old now and there in the coop I made. I have a roost in there about 30 inches high and they do not go on it. Is this too high? I also have a roost out in the run which is only about 18 inches high and they love it. There always on it. should I lower the roost in the coop? Also I get up early and sometimes end up in bed before it gets dark. I have to go out in the run and try to get the chickens in the coop so I can shut the door for the night. Is this ok to do or do you think it will mess them up knowing when to go into the coop themselves. thanks
