Allow a foot of roost per chicken, and they will probably all roost at night.

Using a poop board can make the 12" per bird work just fine,I think they need way more than 12" per bird roost space, so the birds have space to fly up there and get comfortable, and sort out their favorite spots to roost. Mary

Just added a poop board for the roost. It's 30" off floor and roughly 20" wide. Roost bar will be roughly 6" higher. Think one bar across is enough for 20 chickens? I doubt they will all be up there at once.
