We are finally bashing together a form of chicken ark/run. The timber available allows a structure 42 inches wide by 6 foot long as the base measurement. We are unsure how much will have to be allocated for nesting/perching and nowhere seems to make it clear. The chickens will be in the ark most of the time but moved every day around the lawn. Weekends and days where we are at home they will be allowed out to roam the garden for a few hours.

Can anyone help with how tall the triangle needs to be and how much of the overall 'length' should be for perch and nesting? My brain has seized up now.
