THANKS everyone for setting me straight! Man, I was waaaay off with my stupid dowels! GAH! Off to see if we have a 2x4 in the yard I can get cracking on tonight!
(And I live in Florida, so I'm not worried about Frostbite down here - we have heatstroke as our concern! LOL)
Ohhhhhhhh - flat?
We have fat dowels installed (think fat broom handles) and the chickens always look a bit stressed on them...
So do they want a platform area?
And when you say a 2 x 4 with the flat side down... do you mean the widest part of the 2x4 is where the chickens want to sit?? or...
