I need to build some new roost for my bantam silkie that cant fly to the very top of there roost so i need some ideas of roost i can build
 
Here is a picture of mine even my 3 1/2 weeks get up no problem and it all folds up for easy cleaning also not in pic. but there are 2 poop trays that side under the roost.

This isn't a very good pic, but I have a single roost about 6' long and 3' off the ground, about 10" from the back wall. It is a 2x4 that I screwed into the rafters while framing the structure. I also made a little free standing roost about half as tall as a starter roost as my girls were 11 weeks when I got them last week. Some of them fly directly to the main roost now, and some hop from the lower roost to the main roost still, so I am leaving the low one in for now. I am planning to put a poop board under the main roost pretty soon.

Here is my roost. since this pic i have expanded about 2 feet of one side since the chickens got bigger, and we got more chicks
not a great pic, but its about 3 feet tall, and has 3 places to sit Like this:
