I'm in the process of building my coop, and am installing the roosts now. I was going to use a 1X2 board for one and a sturdy branch for the other. I had heard that if you live in northern climates, like I do, having a flat board roost can help prevent frost-bite as they can sit completely on their feet and keep them warm. I wanted to see if anyone has any comments on this, it is my first coop and first batch of chickens, so any suggestions are welcome!
