My (almost) 7 week old chicks come into the coop at dusk, eat a bit and then a rumble breaks out when they realize they each want a specific corner of the coop! They are climbing over and diving under eachother for that sacred spot. No one is hurt and it doesnt seem to get out of hand but what worries me is that one might get squashed.
On other nights, one will get in the rafter above the clean out doors and the others will want to be there and try to fit pushing them off!
There are only 5 of them, and there are roosts which they dont use much. I will attach pics and a video of their behavior and if you think i need to rethink the design, please let me know.
This is the corner they all want to be in. I imagine soon none will fit! It is right up against the closed nesting boxes.
Fastening those wires today!
