good night chuckies

Is she laying yet? 1 of mine started doing that just before she started laying! I just go in after dark and pop them back on the perch, they soon get the idea! 

I have to admit that we have tried and failed to make our buff orpington go onto the roost, instead of sleeping in the nestbox, and have given up. The only problems we might get are pooey eggs, or possibly bare bellies, where the birds get all moist underneath from sleeping on that lovely warm nesting material and their feathers fall out. Neither have thus far been a problem, as they tend to shift the poo out of the way before they lay in the nestboxes and their bellies seem fine.

If you can live with both of those possibilities and she's happy sleeping in the box, why stress about it? 

Have the same problem with my three ladies, they all prefer cuddling up in one nest box. I know they can perch as they do in the day whilst they doze. Tried for a week to block off the nest box and lift them onto the perches after dark. All i got was a few ungrateful clucks and dirty looks followed by them going back into the corner nearest their favourite nest box. Have taken to just putting sawdust down in their sleeping nest box and cleaning it each day. There are two other nest boxes they don't touch so hopefully if they ever start laying they will use those.

Only two of ours roost the rest like to sleep on top of each other in the nest box upstairs! They will not be moved no matter how hard we try!

I suspect 3 of my 4 sleep in the nest box - well cuddled up!  The billy-no-mates who gets to use one of the 2 perches must depend on who's last in.  I'm living with it.

well three of mine like it in the nesting box and the other one (who's a bit bossy) likes to sleep on the perch, they do look cute all cuddled up together
