I have 17 chickens. I have about 15 feet of Roost at different levels. The roosts are only about 1 1/2" wide. Only about 3 chickens will get up on the roosts. I have a nice poop board and everything under them. The chickens like to roost on the poop board or on the nesting boxes. I don't like them roosting in or on the nesting boxes because they make such a mess. My chickens are almost 8 weeks old. Any suggestions or do they just need to get bigger? Are my roosts too thin? They have a great ladder that goes up to them and I have seen several use it. Just looking for some ideas!! Thanks
