Anyone have pictures of their roosts?

Thanks. I read somewhere on this site that a rounded roost, 3"- 6" in diameter was ideal for chickens so that's what they're getting.

I'm sooo jealous of the space you have for you chickens...how many do you have?

16 pullets live in that coop. Its 330 sq ft. I don't do the 4 sq ft rule. Chickens need alot of space. They seem real content in there. I got my first egg from these pullets yesterday at 18 weeks. My other reds didn't lay till they were 25 weeks.
 
See my BYC page (link in sig) for photos. I have a tall, skinny building and the chix' preferred roosts are 8 feet or so up. They reach them via a ladder I made.

The roosts are actually structural 2x4s.
