I really like the perches - I think I might have to copy that in my new coop! Thanks for the great idea.

A very good contemporary design. Anxious to see it all finished.

i will say that now that my birds are getting bigger (9 weeks) they seem to not like the perche too much i think that they might be too skinny i am about to try some different styles ill let you know because otherwise they are dead simple and use up scrap that can be easily found (it is just conduit i saved from a job site dumpter) acctually thats where it all came from
total cost maybe$50 cdn total expensess
thanks alot for your comments

Nice design and it looks well thought out!

I wish I could have used recyled materials - I tried but there wasn't much available when I wanted to start building. Of course now that I am building I am seeing free stuff EVERYWHERE! I have some extra 2x4's and a 4x4 that I will use for a "perch tree". If you want to check it out here is the post with my new (in progress) coop. There are pictures in the first post and more on page 2.
Oh and Welcome to BYC - Beware chickens and this web site are very addicting!

Looks like you have it under control big time, awesome work Dude

WOW!!! That's really different. Can't wait to see it painted.

I wouldn't use metal roosts. Too slippery and cold in the winter.

I think they need something wide enough so they don't have to grip and balance while sleeping all night. At least the flat side of a 2 x 4.

That looks really good.
