My chickens all sleep in the nest boxes at night. I didn't know they were not supposed to do this. I assumed they are warmer that way. They roost plenty on all the things I have for them during the day, but at night they settle in (sometimes four in a box - I have three boxes - six chickens). Is this a bad idea?
They are 26 weeks and also not laying currently. I live in Oregon and the nights are getting longer and temps dropping.
Explain "nasty"... Or I'm sorry, let's "discuss" this please.. Were you referring to me? Or to the person who asked a question and got a reply and didn't like the advice she got?
after reading all posts i don't see anything wrong with the answers that were given to the Op. not looking to stir the pot but i would rather be a little blunt & deliver the needed infomation than have someones hens start falling over dead : (
maybe we can all have a group hug now?
if they keep fighting i may have to call in a superhero!!!
