Ive got a roost question. What diameter roost is ideal for adult chickens? I have some that i think are too small.
And also 10 inches per bird, but how much headroom do they need? Obviously enough to sit but is there a magic number for that?

I am def no expert but have read 18-24" above their heads and 12-18" away from the wall with 2' high several places. Then 9-12" of 'sitting space' per bird. They have to fly so you don't want them hitting their heads.
