When building your chickens roost, make sure to get a piece of square or rectangular lumber, around 2" wide for the perch, up off the ground around 2 feet (or less), make sure your roosts are all the same height, and make sure that you have at least 8" of roost space per chicken. A Coop with that setup will have happy hens!
