I took some pictures tonight to show the main roosting setup. For those who do not know, when the barn shut down we had to move our horses. Everyone was given roughly a months notice. Everyone at the barn was left scrambling trying to find a new place to board, and frankly there were not many options and outrageous prices for what I consider questionable care. Ok, our standards may be different but still, the best option was to attach a barn to the back of our house. It is not fully enclosed in, only 3 sides but the open area is blocked from wind by the mountain. The roost that Butter is on is about 12 feet high. She is the queen of that roost. Towards the front is another roost that Daisy, Holly and now Basil sleep on. When Bunny is not broody she sleeps with Butter and 90% of the time Momma hen is also on Butter's Roost. In these pictures notice the positioning. Butter has placed herself between Blueberry and Creamy. Bubba and the silkies sleep either under Butter or huddled right next to her. Between Bubba and Butter, no one messes with the silkies at night.

Was it polite conversation or nasty?

It was very polite. A whole lot of visits from Phyllis. No fence fighting.

@BY Bob, was it structural ply you used for your coop walls etc?
Making a price/materials list for my summer cubby house/coop project to see what it will end up costing me and if it’s worth while.
A new prefab would prob be easier and cheaper but I don’t feel it will have the same space or character

Yes I used plywood for both coops.
