I could see the roost in the diagram at 3:56 but not how it was fixed or how close to the rear wall it was. Could someone give me an approximation please.

Hi Glynbrain.

The image at 3:56 is the rear wall of the roost which is attached directly to the main frame either by screws or nails.

You can actually download these plans and more at no cost from chicken kit .com or you can click on the link above.

Hope that helps

Im just wondering, is there enough room inside the coop, for a perch to go across for them to roost on? I cant really see the dimensions of the inner part of the coop to see if that can be added inside. Thanks!!!

Hi Lineagejunkie

A perch is not essential. The main thing for a chicken is to be above ground, which the roost is. However, it is more natural for a hen to sit on a perch and all this needs to be is a bit of an old branch laid on the roost floor, or a rounded off piece of 2"x2" which can be attached either to the floor or to the walls. This can be placed upto a few inches above the floor.

One warning: Chicken wire only keeps chickens in, not predators out. Don't use chicken wire. Use hardware cloth or similar "welded wire".

you should add a chalkboard inside, cause I think chickens do quantum mechanics when we sleep....

So very helpful! Greatly appreciated. Thank you Mr. Caden. If I can't get my husband to make this for me, I do believe I can do it all by myself!
