Where do I put my roost bar in 6x4 coop?

[Wrooster]

You could run the roost from the far wall to the middle of the door space. Put a hinged or removable support right across the inside of the door opening, a support on the far wall, and rest the roost on them. Make sure it won't fall off at the wrong time. We have something like that in a bigger space where the far end of the roost is hinged and the support at the door end is hinged on one end and supported with a rope on the other. Not ideal but we needed more roost when we got more chickens and it works.

However you situate your roosts I'd recommend 2 x 4's, wide side up, for the birds to roost on. Round dowels require them to spend the night gripping on to their roost rather then settling down on their breast bone and relaxing their feet. A flat perch also makes it easier for them to keep their feet well covered in cold weather.

Yep, I ended up using 2x4s for roost bar. I will get pic up soon. I made a T. Attached one end to far (ha) wall and attached the top of T about 9 inches from door, made slots so I can lift it out. Also put a poop board attached to wall under roost to catch poo, filled with about an inch of stall dry. Have a gravity fed feeder in right corner just inside door, nipple watered in left corner of main people door. (If you are a hobbit) . Last thing to do is attach a small gravity fed oyster shell feeder to the inside of people door. I think it looks pretty good.
Went and picked up my first three chickens. I should of just drove away when I saw the conditions these backyard birds were living in. Did a visual inspection as best I could. Eyes and legs looked clean as well as butts. Unfortunately these girls are almost completely wild. We managed to catch three. Holy Crap! I believe one of them has bumble foot. No toenails on one foot, she seems to walk okay, so far, the knuckles look slightly swollen. I took them because I thought I would be basically rescuing them from this **** pit they were living in. Now I have probably introduced Staff infections into a brand new coop with wild ones that won't let me get near them. Tis is not what I was invisioning in my head for the past two years with planning and learning all of this. Not sure what to do at this point. I don't think I will be able to get near her to do a closer inspection of foot let alone to try and remove the thing and wrap and clean once a day. Ugh, more stress. She was feeding them just cracked corn, you should of seen them when I put organic layer feed in front of them, let alone the avocado and bananas. Every time I go out I bring a small treat, maybe I can convince them I am a bringer of tasty snacks. Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond. I have used some of your ideas.
