Since we have a post about showing off your creative and unique nesting boxes, why not have one for showing off your roosts!

Do you have a unique way of cleaning your roost? or how about a nice pull out shelf?? (which is what I'm hoping on making and need ideas haha)

Show off your cute, creative, functional roost!
 
Well mine isn't that funky since i only have two chickens, they dont need that much roost space.
Here it is.
With Frisky my black silkie hen on it, right before dusk.

Hi,
I posted a similar thread last night and have had no takers. Maybe your thread title will generate more interest! I just adopted a flock from BYC member, Ma, who had to rehome them due to the flooding here in Iowa. I am new to chickens, but already loving them. I think I could sit in the barn with them all day if I didn't have two little girls to take care of - lol! Anyway, here is what I have so far. I'm looking for inspiration to make something more permanent/better.

Most of them are roosting where there is no dropping board.

SO whats wrong with that? The gang sure seems to have taken to the setup.

Those are chicken saddles. Apparently the rooster is a very active fellow and this protects the ladies from getting torn up.
BTW - you can do a search on saddles and read all about them

I am fine with the roost - just trying to figure out best way to catch the poo! Maybe a pit under the ladder with mesh on top so it catches no matter which rung they roost on??
