roosting

[only one lay]

Will they figure it out on their own or do I need to put them up on it as a training method?

My chicks were flying out of their brooder to roost on the sides of their brooder guard at 2 weeks old.
Provide appropriate roosts per their age (right height, size, etc.) and they usually figure it out just fine.

I had to put them on the roost every night for about a week before they figured it out on their own. I have one that I had to put a step to the roost before she would use it.....

I put a little roost in my brooder made out of a paint stick and they jumped right up on it. (this was at about 1.5 weeks old)
