Roosting bars

Our take

Are your chickens giving you a run for your money when it comes to roosting? You’re not alone! Many chicken keepers, like our friend gaziantepm27, have faced the same feathered frustrations. It sounds like you’ve crafted some cozy roosting bars, but getting those clucky companions to use them can sometimes feel like herding cats—er, chickens! If your birds are squeezing into one corner rather than spreading out, it could be a sign of comfort or even a little bit of chicken drama. And yes, while Brahmas might not be high-flyers, they can still find their way to a comfy perch with a bit of encouragement. Let’s explore some tips to help your feathered friends embrace their roosting bars and make bedtime a less hands-on affair!

I made my chickens roosting bars and I wanted to ask if they are good. I had to pick them up and put them in there but isn't there a way that they'll do it for themselves. They don't even go in there at day. And is it normal that they squeeze together in one corner and do not spread. I know brahmas are big and can't jump very high but the steps should be alright.
