If the front 1x6 is a 2x4, the a 1x4 could be added at the 6 inch height. I have several birds that like that 6 inch height.. Note that the risers are not set in the corners but inset a few inches. this allows the birds to sit either facing the wall or to the front. and to not poop on those roosting on the next riser.
Sometimes there are 8 to 10 birds sitting on each roost for warmth.
My blue barnevelders. I just had to share.
Here's my girls, dirty feet and all. @Yara
And I hatched one more bunch of my Splash Copper Marans X Blue and Splash "Ameraucanas." They are definitely not true Ameraucanas. I ended up with 3 of 7 straight combs. Anyone need a few good healthy chicks? All three for $5.
Finally, I am still waiting on my Tolbunt Polish eggs. The ones he sent me to tide me over have hatched and are a week old already. They are HUGE. The hatched out of bantam eggs but are almost keeping up with my large fowl chicks of the same age. PLEASE LET THEM BE GIRLS. Here they are next to a Jubilee the same age.
I already have two boys (I think) and don't really want to start breeding silkies anyway! Do the boys make good pets? I'm betting there are some Paris Hilton wanna be's that would carry them around and pamper them.
