Ruling the Roost

The ducks like to sleep outside and rarely go into the goat shed, however, most of the chickens go inside when night falls. Not this guy. He found his own ideal night perch. 

That got me thinking that our trampoline chickens don't have anywhere to roost. Well, that can be easily fixed.

I started by sticking an old wooden baseball bat through the goat fencing reinforcing the trampoline. You can see that was a hit (pun intended). 😉

Not much room for them all. 

How about some logs? There's plenty of firewood against the garage; it was easy to find two with crotches a longer branch could bridge. 

The curious chickens checked it out right away! 

At one point, six of the seven birds were on at once, but I didn't get a picture; they moved too fast. I didn't use anything to fasten the wood together, just gravity. So far it's still standing!
