Mikal,

 

  The roosts I have they are sitting on the 4 inch flat side. I also bought a wood ladder that they roost on, as well as a brooder pen that has a wood frame top , covered in chicken wire then thick plastic over the top. The brooder top seems to be a favorite :-) crazy chooks

Awesome! Thank you so much. Based on a lot of my reading I'm guessing they will probably roost where I don't want them anyways. HA!
