I can just see the first flap of the wings and those things flying all over the place. The roosting instinct is strong. Long story short. I cleaned the coop a few years ago, removed the roosts and nest boxes for cleaning and left in the sun to dry and disinfect. Well I got busy doing other things and didn't get back to it until about 1/2 hour before dusk. I had some upset hens, squawked and squawked at me and had them hanging from window ledges, top of feeder etc. LOL with the shavings all over.
