PoachedPlease Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I think it depends when they want to roost? My 10 week olds love roosting at every opportunity so I have put half the bars back! Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_egg Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I think if you put them back in too young they can damage their keel bone. I would wait til they are older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
