Wood's Coop Roost bars - how many deep?

That yellow wheel is not wide and the chickens seems fine.

That's an interesting question, one I never thought about. We used 2x2's primarily for our roosting bars and/or 2x4's with the narrow side up. They are stair stepped from 3 feet to 8 feet inside the coop. We have freestanding roosts in the run area as well and they are made primarily from 2x2's. I have Jersey Giants and they have no problem using our roosts. This is Harvey, he's twice as big as most of the hens and he loves the roosts!

You got the point just fine. It was me that missed the point in your reply!

Photos of the roost outside in the enclosed run. Harvey sleeps on this roost if it's not raining. Along with 3 or 4 hens!

This is a photo of my chickens "going to bed" on the coop roosts this past summer. It was hot!
