Teaching Chicks to Roost in Early Rearing
Poultry specialists advise teaching chicks to roost at 8 to 12 weeks to keep them clean and reduce crowding. Wide roosts of 3 to 4 inches pose little extra risk of crooked breasts compared to floor rearing. Perches near the floor can train chicks, or after dark for a few nights if needed, and in large brooders roosts should be placed at four to five weeks to encourage stronger birds to use them.
