<<The roosts should be higher than the nestboxes to keep them from sleeping in the nestboxes.>>
That doesn't help in my case... the roosts are definitely higher than the boxes, and I know they do all roost on the roosts. But when I come out to let them out in the morning, there will be at least 3-4 of the Rockettes sitting on the edge of the boxes, looking out--and the evidence has them pooping there, several each morning. Little stinkers. There's only one so far laying (2 months older than the Rocks), and her "special" box never has poop--she seems to stay in it after laying, until they all go out.
