I have for their roosts several round poles, like you find in a closet. My hens are getting older and was wondering if it is hard for them to stay on the roost with maybe arthritis in their feet. They seem to struggle sometimes to keep their balance as they go through their nightly "pecking order" ritual. Would a 2 x 4 with the flat side (3 1/2" ) up be more comfortable for them or are their feet more designed for a round pole?
