I was told that Chickens like to roost as high as possible. Since the coop is four feet by four feet wide and five feet tall, I thought that a roost two feet from the floor of the coop would be enough.
Tonight as I'm going to close the coop up, I get a real shock. There are only three Chicken's on the roost. I look every where. I look outside the run for any signs of an unwanted visitor. Everything looks normal, except I'm missing one of my precious birds!
Finally, I look up and above the window, at least a foot above the present perch is the missing Chicken. I can't tell you how relieved I felt. Well, I will have to move the perch higher so that everyone will feel safer and more comfortable.
Wow! Great blog! Amazing that you were just contemplating raising the roost today. Guess you have your answer. :)
