Roosting

How can I stop hens from roosting on top of the nest boxes I have ???

Seems the way i break that is every night when i lock them in for the night i move them off the boxes when they sleep on the coop floor for enough nights they will eventually make it to the roost bars lol. I definitely dont let it become habit. I like my nest boxes clean and eggs clean every pick. They normally fogure it out within a week. Or if you cant break them take large dia pvc pvc pipe and wrap the areas the sit. they cant get grip on it will put a flat out end to it quick, fast, and in a hurry lol.
