darn.. if i still had my games, id ship. ive had no trouble getting my free range games to lay in their houses, but the layer and meat crosses were stupid and just layed were ever they happened to be at the time. i had a special neat house made, and they preferred to lay and roost in the goat and dog houses. they were the cheapest and easiest birds to keep, as usually went off and even brought home own food which was even rats and large snakes, and never had predator troubles, that my birds didnt take care of themselves (i kept a low watt bulb on out by their houses at night so they could see if anything attacked them). even my buddy who i told could play with them, but dont touch the chicks, cause if they cry out, the hens will cut your face like like you were a bad mexican whore. well he did.. also, my games layed everyday, each (which is more than i can say for the crappy layers, and mixes even). so not sure what mutts or inbreds some keep, but they are the least trouble of any pet ive had, to keep (and ive had alot).
