So I have 8 11 week old pullets. They all used to roost on the roost, like chickens do! Then all of a sudden when I went out to close up the coop for the night 4 of them were roosting in one of the nest boxes. The nest boxes are the same height as the roost, so I don't see why they don't use it. Then just an hour ago all of them were piled in the one nest box. Like right now, it isn't a big problem, but in two months when they *hopefully* start laying the nest box will be all full of poo, and somethin tells me that they are all gonna use the one nest box on the end, even tho there's 6 more to use. Does anybody have any idea of how to change this behavior because I don't want poo all over the eggs when we get some...
Thank you!!!
