Well, all my Silkies, pure and mixed now officially roost. They got a gold mine of spots to pick from to roost, everyday everyone is in a new area. My tiny black silkie chick roosts up with the little Jap chicks. The sizzle/frizzle chicks roost, my big ol white roo Silkie flops himself on the poopboard[along with a few chicks that can't fit on the bar against the wall.] That bar is maybe 3in from the wall, Jr. Jap and his little brother & sister chicks squeeze in on the bar, they run out of space for 3 of them though, they face the wall. Ah, anyway, just saying that my Silkies, as long as they have a wider roosting bar, they do roost and will eventually.
So anyone wanting their Silkies to do so, get 8in or wider boards for them, stepping up, basically real wood steps with every other step missing. I'll be adding just that to their new coop, since it's currently bare of any roosts.
Yay for the cotton balls!
