Round vs Flat Roosting Bar Comparison

[saysfaa]

My question(which has yet to be answered) is in regards for putting some type of roosting bar in the run. Coop already has flat 2x4 for roosting. Has hoping to see a pic of a 2x4 and a round bar/branch side by side, same height with chickens on one or the other or both.

but previous post

Always will be a debatable subject. Anyone have a picture of a flat 2x4 next to a round bar or tree branch?

doesn't say anything about a run.



Anyway, I had various branches and lumber in the yard (no run in my set up). I never saw the chickens on any of them in three years. When they weren't moving around, they went under the deck or under the bushes in the woods or into the coop.

I have a 1x4 and a branch in my run. I will see if I can snap a picture of it tonight when they go to roost.

Looks like none of the girls wanted to sleep out tonight but here is the rooster in the run on the flat roost. Often there will be a hen or two on the branch behind him. The roosts in the coop are also flat but sometimes they will skip the roost and sleep in a tree.
