A couple Q's
-Do your turkeys/chickens roost? YES
-If so, how high are your roosts? 2ft up
-What are the benefits of roosting? they feel safer . . .
-What are the disadvantages of not roosting? they might sleep in the nesting boxes beacuse they like to be at the highest point they can get to
-What do you use for a roost? I have used many things, from a big stick in my yard to a piece on plywood but i like the sticks for a natural look

-How many roosts do you have? I have 1 big one indoor the width of the coop and 2 in the run for fun and so they can have an aerial view hehe
