There have been several questions about the size of roost bars, how to stack them, and the consequences of use. This study was quite in depth and has some inter...esting feedback. Then you can choose to dress your coop in a way that you feel best suits you needs and the needs of YOUR flock. This is especially helpful for flocks with larger hens like the Cochins and Brahmas and ones with Bantams and Silkies. For those who don't want to read the article. Use a 2x4 slightly rounded on the edges and wrapped in something like a bicycle inner tube (like you do your handlebars on a 10-speed bike of yesteryear). And if you don't wrap then just do the wood. Keep them all at the same height. A droppings board can still be put at an angle so that the Poop slides into a gutter. :)

Henny Penny is feeling better after being defrosted has a bedtime roost with a poop catcher... maybe our new house chicken
