need help with my roost

[kimmerjo]

I just finished building my.... poop table box. ( didn't know what to call it).. I don't know how to post pictures in threads so there is one in my profile of it. But I need to know what the best roost to put above it would be. "The poop table box " is 25"x6' and is about 3' off the ground.

. I think this is how to do it.?

A 2x4 with the wide side up will work, 6" or so above the poop table should catch all poops.

Ok and one should do? I plan on getting between 10-12 .

For regular size chickens, meaning not bantams, I would allow 1 foot of roost length per bird. So for 10-12 chickens, allow 10-12 feet of roost.

Ok odd question If I put two board acrossed it will the poop on each other?

 

[ChirpyChicks1]

You mean putting them one on top of the other? Yes, chickens don't look before pooping. If you do side by side (with a good amount of space in between) then you will be fine
