Chickens roosting on top of henhouse

« on: August 19, 2010, 09:08 »

I invested in a splendid new wooden chicken house for my 7 chickens complete with indoor roosting and separate nest boxes. However 3 chickens insist on roosting outside on the roof. How can I encourage them to use the facilities provided ? The house is in a fully enclosed run with roof.

Sounds lovely, think its just gonna be a case though of lifting them off the top and placing them where they should be for a few days until they get the idea. nicky

Mine did that at first so I just put some buckets on the roof to make it less appealing.
