That's exactly what I had to do with my Cochins & turkeys. I've got a bunch of 4x4 cedar posts, maybe instead of Nana's drawing I'll cut a 4x4 and set each end on cinder blocks. I guess he can see out the lattice holes and that'll have to do. That'd make it 19" tall, that'll be good.

My shamos have a roost that is 2 feet and they do just fine oreantal game birds are exalant jumpers and can jump 8/9 feet with there wings cliped

Not even worth it
 
i don't beleve i have ever shared my SERAMA pics with all my okie friends the coco hen is only 11.8 the roo is 15.6 and the motteld hen is 16.2 i also have other hens i will have to get pics of later

Dang! I know my turkey's can jump to the top of the 6' picket without using their wings, they have to be in a covered pen. It's the landing that's hard on them.
I sorta' roost-cheated in the Brazilian's pen. I put the little OE Bantam in a 2' tall dog crate inside his pen since the other little OE's are still in quarantine & I can't put her with them yet. He hopped right up on it and raised his long neck up and was watching everything. So that worked good and it's a nice flat area for him.

I hope you like your new bird they are one of a kind mine are verry freindly and I have even had them in the house for days and my 2 1/2 year old would cach and hold them and they never seamed to mind I hope yours is just as nice

He's just wonderful, I love him to pieces. Very seldom do I feel so strongly about an entire breed like this. I love my individual birds but (aside from my LF Cochins) I'm not hooked on the breeds themselves. These games I am. The more I read the more fascinated I am with them. They're not a breed that you can put on auto pilot but I'm reasonably certain they'll be worth the extra effort they require. I know they're not lovey and huggy, he's never going to want to sit on my lap and eat cookies with me, that's what my big Cochins are for

But he's surprisingly docile and easy to handle one on one. I'll just accept him the way he is and work around his natural tendencies. Cuz he's worth it!
(And now I'll shut up about my way cool new bird lol)

I LOVE the black breasted red boy (I think that's the color). I love my Serama (as we all know) but for a tiny breed I decided to go with OEGB because Seramas do too poorly outside in cold weather. Do you keep your Seramas inside or under heat in the winter? They sure are adorable.
