When will they start to roost?

[ashleyr]

I currently have 15 chickens, (some are 12 weeks, some 9 weeks, and some 8 weeks) and only some of them use the roost (literally like.. four or five) are they still in the cuddly baby stage or do I have chickens who dislike to roost?

Some chickens need to be trained to use the roosts. I recently got a new EE pullet about your chickens' age, and I went out every night and set her on the roost so that she would get used to sleeping that way.
I recommend doing this to your birds.
