Chicken noob hoping for feedback on my coop design.

Fwiw, on my first build the roost bar was 15" away from the wall to center of bar and I had poop on back wall. My current coop has the roost bar @ 18" and zero poop on wall.

Sounds like there must be a coefficient of poop splatter that can be used to calculate the ideal distance.

It's based on bar height, bird size and the local gravitational constant.

...and moisture content of feces.
