Chicken roosts

[newbiechickenfan]

Can someone direct to a picture or post pictures of their roosts? My babies are 5 weeks old and I know they like the tree branch I put in their pen, but I'm not sure if that's good enough for when they get big. Help! I want to do right by them.

When they were in the brooder I just put some small logs for them to just kinda sit on. In the coop and run - here r some pics:

Not a very good pic of the roost, but we just slid some different length 1x2's thru the fencing in the corners.

Oh that's cool. And simple too. What a cute little chicken you have too. Thanks!

Tina Turner is a white crested black polish chickie!! LOL Thanks. Just make sure u stagger the lengths so that if someone is on the top roost doesn't poop down all over everyone else!

I will. Tina Turner? Love it. Thanks again.

That's a beautiful hen house for sure. Thanks, mine is much smaller, but it helps me to see what I could be doing.

Thanks, I definitely have to put something inside their coop like that.

i like how your roosts arent square pieces of wood i have a large branch well more like a log suspended off of two chains so that it swings like a realt tree would they love it
