At what age do Silkies begin to roost? Mine are closing in on 7 weeks old and show only the most modest interest in the roosts, though all three can reach them and they seem to thoroughly enjoy climbing all over me. They also seem to prefer sleeping in the deep litter in a corner of the coop, and have somehow managed to convince my Barred Rocks to sleep there with them even though my BR rooster has shown intense interest in sleeping on the roosts next to my Australorps. (It's actually a rather fascinating "conversation" to observe each night.)

Of my 2 pens of silkies only 1 pen roosts. The other pen just lays on the floor lol. They have a roost available, they just don't like. They actually sleep in the corner of the coop too!!

LOL! My silkies can't fly well at all! They sleep on the floor too!

Always keep in mind, a roosters crow and a dogs bark both register the same decibles.

My first couple of Silkys did not roost. When I had one who did roost, the rest followed the example. The only 1 I have now that doesn't roost is an itty 2month old chick.
