Roost height?

[Diann88]

Hi! I know the roosts need to be higher than the nest boxes but does that mean higher than the top of the nest boxes or higher than the floor of the nest boxes? Thanks!

Higher than the floor of the nesting boxes, I would say. There is quite a range in perch height, depending on if you have small or large chickens. Mine are about 20" off the floor of the coop, not including the inches of pine shavings. Have fun!
