Getting chicks in April and trying to figure out the final design and placement for nesting boxes and roosts. I will have a wide variety of chicken sizes, from Leghorns and EE to Jersey Giants, Buff Orpingtons and Brahmas.
Was wondering if 2 feet off the ground is too high for the lowest group of nesting boxes. I do plan on having a perch for them.
How about for roosts? I am planning on having a stair step type configuration for the roosts, starting around 2 feet off the ground then up about a foot for each subsequent step.
Is this too far off the ground for the big guys? How far up can/do your big chickens go?
Thanks for any help!
