Ramps for perches and nest boxes? Perches in front of nest boxes?

They need room to spread their wings but also need a fairly long 'runway' distance.

Mine still do fly down sometimes, but usually from the closest end of the board in the pic down to the area right by the pop door under the short board, so I keep the shavings thicker there for a softer landing.
 
Depends on the dimensions of your coop.
I found with 3 foot high x 2 foot wide roost boards in a 6 foot wide coop they needed a ramp to avoid flying off the board and into the wall. Plus heavy birds are better off not jumping 3 feet onto a hard floor. So I added a ramp to a platform that also has a ramp to the nest bar across from the roost board.
