Chickens sleep in laying area

Recommended Posts

I recently upgraded my Go Up to an Eglu mark 1, but my hens keep sleeping in the laying area. I put cardboard in to block it off at night and remove it in the morning, but I can't keep on doing this. Any other ideas to stop them from sleeping in the laying area?

Try putting a large plastic football in the laying area at night?  The other thing I read somewhere: if the roosting bars are not higher than the laying area, the hens will sleep in the laying area.
