OK; so we built this roost; hubby did it to where they didnt poop on each other at night..

so what do they do??? face the wall and sit with their butts hanging over the heads of the ones
below..

do I have special birds or is this something I should have known????

I could give you a good name for one of the ones on the bottom.

They should, in theory, turn away from the wall... That way they poop behind the bird on the lower perch...

right but they all face the wall...so is it agreed; my chickens are umm..unique??? LOL...

is there anyway to correct this behavior??

of course my only Roo is the first one on the roost and he's the one who started it!!

I had the same problem at one point. Although, it really wasn't MY problem. They figured it out eventually. Don't you hate it when they out-wit your brilliant system? I had a huge roost area built in my new coop and a droppings board strategically placed underneath it. What do half of the chickens do? Fly up to the RAFTERS to sleep (and not above the DB either!).
