Our coop has two roosts each about 6 1/2 feet long, 1 above the other. Our 12 pullets (14 weeks old) all sleep on the upper roost.
This makes me feel good as they all get along and no one has been bumped to a lower roost, which I believe relates to pecking order.
As they get bigger I assume they won't all fit up there. If we add another perch it would but into the first at a 45 degree angle, and they could still all snuggle. Or should I just let the pecking order run its course and eventually a few will get bumped.
