Flooring inside the coop - open bars?

[smaress]

the wood is redwood, left over from a big fence project. It is just under 3' wide, just over 3' tall, depth is 30" to the nest box, nest box area is 16" deep (so overall a bit over 3' deep down there, less above).

The bottom is getting fenced in w/ an attached run under the nest box and projecting out to the right side of it. The run area footprint will be about 4X6, enclosed totally with access to the housing area. They will have lots of additional roaming space during day, the enclosure is mainly for when I am not home and at night.

I have 4 standard birds, 1 of which will likely need to be re-homed once crowing starts...

If the house is too small once they are in there, I'll have to add an extension.
