Coop advice?

[Silkiesaz]

Hi all, I was hoping you would have some advice for me! My silkie coop right now is an old well house with sturdy rock walls. The only problem is I can't really nail roosting bars into the walls. Any ideas or help?

Could you make like a roost ladder than leans against the wall?

I could do that, thank you for the help!

A sturdy, free-standing A-frame would be my preference over something leaning, as it can fall down. You can also suspend from the roof, assuming that's not rock

I could do that. The roof is wooden.

Right on. When I mentioned the roof, I forgot to say how I did mine as I have a roof suspended roost ladder inside my coop - made of 2x3 lumber, sits at angle with one side resting on floor, the other is suspended from overhead roof purlin using hooks and eye bolts - so I can remove it for cleaning.
That hook/eye connection works great for stuff you might want to remove easily, I used to have roost ladders hanging off the walls inside, and a big heavy ramp going into the coop

Two concrete blocks and a branch or board make a serviceable perch:
