First how far should roost be from nest box and how high and what spacing needed? Second lot of poop in nest. Nest are 12x12x12 with lip use straw or hay in them. Nest right now are about 3 feet from roost made out of 2x4 up and down and 2x2 across to roost on goes 12in off floor to 12in from roof about 8 feet roost are at a angle. Have heard roost to close,or not dark enoufe need to cover with cloth,will make chics poop in nest and eat eggs. Thanks 1 old hen
