Chicken bald back

[Scottie]

For the last few nights, seven of our ten hens have not gone into the Cube but instead have been roosting on one of the lovely bars in our walk in run. The run is secure, so I'm not worried about safety, just wondering why the change in behaviour? Perhaps just the light nights?

Mine have been doing that almost since the WIR was built. I worried there was a sinister reason but I suppose they just like it .

just experiencing this with posh birds, dear ex bats like to go to bed and snuggle up...

My biggest problem is the 3 babies are the noisiest flipin creatures god created ... and at 5 am that is not acceptable... I brought them indoors and it is so peaceful in the mornings.

I have taken out the roosting bar and the others do go to bed and hey everyone I gave up and leave the doors open.. the remaining 5 are peaceful enough even when getting up at 4 am...

Am trying the noisy three out again tonight... just hoping half heartedly that it may have broken the habbit...
