Remember the roosts should be about 12" away from the wall.I can put a slope to the top of them pretty easily.
Nests already have a 'ceiling'.Install my poop boards right above the nesting boxes? That will be a ceiling to the boxes of about 13-14" and a width of about 32" and a length of 60", is that enough for the hens to get to the boxes? I plan then to put roosting boards (across the width of the coop as are the ones at the other end) above the poop board.
