Ok. So finishing up my 6x6 coop. I need to figure out how I want to do my poop boards and roosts....
My ideas are do a 6' x 3' board with 2 roosts 12" above it, how high up from the poop board should the roosts be? Doing the board around 12-14" above the floor, then one roost 12" from the wall, the other 12" in front of that one, then would have 12" to front of board. But is the 3' in front of the board enough space for the chickens to jump off??? Is the 12" between enough space to not poop on each other??
Or I can do an L shape either on the wall beside the people door I can do a short section then a 6' section. Make it 2' wide with the roost in the middle. Or the short side can go on the side the chicken door is. Problem with this idea is I was going to do removable roosts for this coop so they are easier to clean and swap out. So if I do a short section I can't do that ....
I will post a pic of the coop from standing in the people door. When looking at the chicken door to the right will be nest boxes, they will be low and exterior to not take floor space. To the left will be the roosts. Right now it is just a bare box. Lol. I can try to get other pics tomorrow.
