Will they eventually use the roost bar?

Nice set up! Love that poop board!

Looks like a few of the littlers are roosting to the far left?
They'll all catch on...or you could go out after dark and put the rest of them up there, that can speed the process.
Roost space might get tight....or they may roost on the edge of poop board,
or even on board it self depending on how clean you keep it.

lol no that's my hack black jack 57 job.

I have 2 that sleep on the edge of the poop board and one that sleeps on top of a window.

Having said that, should I move them from the edge of the poop board and from the window to the roost?

This???:

I'd move them off the window, and put something there to keep them off,
but edge of poop board is OK as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Oh. I thought you meant on the floor between the feeder and the waterer.

Those are some of the bigger chicks. A few of them sleep in that corner and the rest sleep on the other end of the roost. Outcasts lol.

I've got alot of roost in my enclosure but 5 Wynadottes prefer to pile/crowd the right end of the roost above the dog house/nest at night. Although the other night notice poop board clean & poop under the top roost to the left of the enclosure. They are particular and have their preferences.

Does either bother you? If not, don't worry about it

 

[Richard Pryor]

Not one bit. Hopefully the ones on the edge of the board don't wake up full of poop!

 

[Richard Pryor]

They completely ignored the temp roost :/

You can't see the smaller chicks in the image, but they're all curled up on the bottom left corner of the coop.
