I have a mixed flock of different size hens (Brahma, Orpington, Marans, Dominique, Ameracauna, Polish, Silkie) and I'm trying to figure out how to set up the roosts. I was planning to use 2x4's with the larger side up but will that be too thick for the small chickens? Should I add a narrower roost for them? Also, how far from the wall should the roost be? If I put 2 roosts should they be at the same height or should one be lower?
This is my first time raising chickens so any advice is appreciated! :)
