new to the chicken culture going for my second coop build as we just ordered more chicks...
my question is when building roosts or sleeping shelves what is their optimum natural comfort foot position
through evolution does the chicken prefer round roosts like a tree in nature so claws wrap with a curve
or a flat surface so balance is no prob and easy to sleep?
and is there a benefit to one or the other health wise for the feet of the chickens
so 1x2 or 2x2 or flat???
my birds are for for family pets and eggs not show we just want them to be happy and healthy
mahalo
