Now that we have (10) chickens rooming together I installed a second roost in the coop. This roost was delivered onto us by hurricane-turned-tropical-storm Irene, so why not use a perfectly good piece of oak! This will give the newbies another place too flee to when being chased by the older hens as they set the pecking order, as well as another option for the ladies to spread out for their evening night nights.
The photo above shows the first user of said roost. A perdy four+ month old Buff Orpington pullet. Can't wait till they start laying!
