Here's ours. We just cut some roughly 4" diameter trees off of our property. The chickens LOVE them! The poop board is just some leftover T1-11 siding we had from another project. We placed a couple of 2x4s under it for bracing, and it just slides off. Our coop is 8x8 as well.

Wow. That is a good looking coop!
Nice and clean too (I'm a big fan of clean coops).
 
We have one along the left wall, and one in the back in front of the window, and another just in front of the nest boxes on the right.

Our chicks are still teenagers so they don't use the roosts much yet (they still huddle on the floor).
However, two of our Australorps were sleeping on the roost the first night in the coop.

Thought of using some tree branches if i can find some straight enough. What wood would (lol) be best to use??? Pine, Dogwood, Oak?......I'm in NC if that helps!
