My still growing hens are happily roosting on a closet rod -- it's 1-3/8 inches in diameter. I've read that the ideal size for a roost is 2 inches in diameter. Is the small size roost a problem for full grown hens? I have some full-size cochins and buff orps so some pretty big birds when they are mature.
