Roosters or not

[Chickengene]

What do your roosts look like, or rather, feel like to the birds? I only recently learned that chickens like to sleep with their feet flat, unlike some other birds that like twigs their feet can lock on to.

Our roosts are 2x4's set at an angle and the hens don't like them much. I'm planning on having them rebuilt. Meanwhile, they roost on the flat board that covers the nest boxes.

I started out with approximately 2" to
2 1/2" tree limbs. But since I had no readily available way to make different heights with them I put up 2 x 3s. The older gals like them fine.
The youngsters have not tried them.
