They picked the roost they like best

[geekgurl]

So I just got my pullets a week ago and have been trying to get them to roost in the evening. They had been piling in the corner on the floor and I would go out after they were asleep and put them on the roost. Well, last night they got on the roost themselves, but then decided that there was a better place to roost.

First three of them tried it out for size

Then the fourth clamored up there.

Finally they spread out and fell asleep.

I took the pics with a wireless IP cam(Foscam FI8918W) I have setup in there that has night vision. That's why the color is so off.

Cheers,
Melissa

Melissa ~ That's funny! What kind of girls are those? I have one that looks exactly like yours -
I have no idea what she is though - but she is sweet!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the chicky cam!

Thanks for the info -

Thank you for the sweet comments.

Lynn, it's kinda hard to see in the pic,but the one standing in the first pic is a cuckoo marans. The other three are a blue ameraucana, a blue copper marans and an olive egger . The olive egger and the ameraucana are a bit difficult to tell apart as they look the same.

I've had to remove the sidebeams as they just would not go to roost by themselves.

Cheers,
Melissa

I love that! They have the best of both worlds: they're up off the floor but they can still pile up. I can't help but smile when one of my 20-week old pullets still tries to burrow under the others on the perch. Invariably she knocks somebody off then gets put in her place. She's a silly snuggler, that one.
