I'm getting some BO and RIR hens this year, and wondering how tall the roost should be since, from what I've read, they are considered 'heavy breeds'. My current plans make it about three feet high (technically, five feet from the floor, but I have a landing two feet up which they use to get to the roosts). I had some RIR/Leghorn crosses that seemed to handle it fine, but wanted to run this question by once before I get these new hens.
Any advice is appreciated
