Can I put roosting poles above each other? (10 pts.)?

Hi everyone,

I am designing a chicken house and my plans are that I have roosting poles that are all on the same level, like if you took a ladder and laid it on its side. My question is, can I put two levels of this and put one above the other as long as I leave room for them to fly up there from the one below. Or would there be problems from some being above the others?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

MusicMan

    many people have "stacked" roosting poles, One tip, situate upper poles a little behind the lower poles so birds on top don't leave their droppings on the lower birds.

    My only concern is after awhile, just how stable is it going to be? When it's first built, OKAY. A year from now, ? Good luck with it.
