Hey Dean. May I suggest using 2x3s or 2x4s that are level to the floor or wide side up. Your design has the edge pointed up. I would imagine your chickens' feet would start to hurt a bit trying to keep their balance. That's a bit too much work for them and a tad painful, I suspect. Try building it as you would steps to your porch. I think that would help encourage your chooks to roost more comfortably.
I can't tell exactly, but your top perch might be a little too close to the wall. If they sit facing outwards, you might end up with a poo storage system on the wall brace.
I agree with Geokan. You may find it's because of the way round you have your perches. I'm going to propose a different solution, though, as free one: tree branches. They work brilliantly and you don't need to figure out notches or angles for screwing them onto the upright supports.
