Hi Everyone,
I have 6- 9 month old chickens and 3 - 7 week old chickens who hatched from one of the first group. The littles have tried to roost but the elders knock them off. There is plenty of room. I have even added another roosting bar just a bit lower than the one the elders roost on but the littles wont use it. They are now sleeping in the nesting boxes. We have plenty of roosting bars. Will they grow out of this as they grow or should I block the nesting boxes? TIA
