Interfering with roosting and pecking order?

I wonder how you make a divide for the roost? Can you describe or send a photo? I am having the same issue.

Here's a couple

I had plastic netting (like snow fence netting) that I put up with some hooks. You can see it in the upper left of this photo. Unfortunately, it’s a little dark and may be difficult to see. I’ll look for other pics.

Looks like they could get tangled up in that.

Way to fix the photo!! Thanks.

It is hard plastic and pretty stiff, so it didn't really seem like they'd get tangled in it - and they didn't. This was what I'd used across the whole coop - upper and lower - when I'd integrated them. I'd just rolled some of it up. I think the better thing would have been to have just cut the excess off, but it did curl around and add a little more space between the old meanie and the littles she was picking on.
