Our coop is 99.5% done. I moved the ladies in last weekend. We have nesting boxes but no roosts and now they are all sleeping/roosting in the nesting boxes and making quite the mess.
So we are out to the workshop this week to build some roosts.
I would love to see some pictures of your set ups.
FYI:
I have 14 chickens and my coop is 11x7x5
Thanks
 
This L-shaped corner roost has dropping boards that slide out for easy cleaning.

We did the poop board as well, used a piece of 3/4" melamine since it has a smoothe surface. Seems like the cleaner way to go.

I now have another bar at the same height as the highest one, parallel to it. I didn't figure in just how much space they each wanted so they could roost as closely as possible to the rooster. He's popular.
