Size of roost?

[callen0912]

So while walking my dog I saw this in our yard. Would this be ok for a roost?

Edited: and I have these I'm thinking fi using as well

Can't tell how big they are in the pics. You want them to be at least 2" in diameter so the birds have a comfortable grip.

I can go measure real quick. Hang on! I'm almost positive the first one is 2", it's pretty thick. The other two I'll have to see about.

Edited: the largest one is more than 2", and one of the smaller ones (the one with the fork in the end) is 2" on the nose. Is something that's more than 2" better? I might could find another large one that more than 2".

Those should work then.

cool beans! It's not much of a savings, but yay for free things for the coop!

I use branches for roosts. Some smaller ones for bantams, or for chicks learning how to roost or that need a step to reach the big girl roost when they get old enough. I also like to have branches I just randomly move around, to give my flock something to talk about from time to time.
