I'm a bad father. I bought birds before I had a coop and long story short they lived in my garage until they were almost 10 weeks old. Well, they are outside now in the coop I finally finished and they've been there for 3 nights. I have 3 cascading roosts that are 10 feet wide and I was really hoping they'd hop up there to sleep. They have always slept in their brooder box on the ground, I never put a practice roost in for them. My adult flock live in a separate coop, I haven't tried to integrate them yet. They seem to roost but I put them in their coop at 6 weeks old.
Is there anything I can do to inspire them to roost or do I just have to let them teach themselves?
Thanks
