Birds in corner of shed at night!

[PressRed]

Currently have a shed of 300 birds housed to organic standards,for the last week when they start to come in the shed they all head for one corner of the shed,crushing each other. Tonight I had to move every bird so they didn’t die due to the heat from the group.

Any idea why there doing it?

All perched fine since may until Recently

Its usually when they are cold or trying to get away from a draft/ drafty area.


Or as a one off.... fright.

Edit should be 'draughty'

We used to put drums (barrels) in the corners of the turkey hut to stop them crowding into the corners and suffocating one another. Or put a board across the corner to make it less tight.

They're cold.

Sudden change of weather hasn't helped
