CatieB Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I have never seen my girls in bed before as DH usually sorts them out and I'm often in bed long before them However tonight DH is away and so I had the pleasure. However I was to find two asleep in the nest box and the third almost on top of them on top of the cube nest hole. Is this ok and something to about or something I should discourage?? If so how Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess1merlin Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I just push mine out of the nest box onto the roosting bars as it starts to get dark and then they seem to stay out. You could put something like a football in the nest box overnight but it would need to be taken out first thing in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Beaumont Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Mine would sleep in the nest box given the chance. I block the hole up at night with a bucket with the top cut off. If they sleep in there it defeats the object of having poo trays. Sometimes I forget and have to pick them up and poke them through the hole! They are not impressed.
