I just bought my first 5 chickens, and built my own tractor. They are only 7 months old, and right now only one has laid in the last couple of days (i'm not sure if the trauma from the move maked them stop laying, or if they simply haven't laid yet)
I've noticed that at night, the birds all sleep in the nest boxes (which are in the highest and darkest spot). There are plenty of perches elsewhere.. They will even double-up in a single nestbox (2 chickes per 12"x12"x12" nestbox)
Is this normal?
