My rooster want to sleep in the nesting boxes. All the hens use the roost. There is plenty of room.I have 2 roost in the coop. they are both the same height. Should I make 1 higher?

EVERY night I have to move my EE Rooster. He is the lowest of the lowest in the pecking order. I have multiple roosters and he is timid, shy, and just pitiful. Funny enough, he is the largest rooster I have! I made him his own roost to share with his brother and I have to move him out of the nest box every single night. It is thoroughly annoying!
 
Someone has to be at the bottom of the pecking order, but multiple roosters usually do cause problems. I would watch the flock, and decide which cocks need to stay, and move the rest on. Mary
 
Buddy, my Buff, is the king of the flock. His problem is he wants to spend the night in the nesting boxes. Every night I need to relocate him to the roost.
