Starting to see the end!!

I'm making progress.

So how far in front of the nest boxes should the perch be?

More.

Your perches or roost should be higher than the laying boxes or they will sleep in them and poop. If you mean a perch so they can get into the boxes I would say 5 inches, just enough so they can jump up and get in.

Thank you. Yes I was talking to just get them in the boxes.
