I think it would be a place where mites could take up residence..... Having a nice wide perch would be better where they can cover their feet with their feathers. Like laying the two by four with the wide side up. Or even a two by six. The wood is naturally insulating. If you think about it in the wild they are going to roost on tree branches.
Then you can paint or stain and seal the wood so its scrub-able every once and a while. Painting the color of poo would make it stay nice looking longer.... LOL.
sounded good to begin with for sure. I certainly would like something soft to put my feet on.... but what do the chickens need.

So I had an errant thought...would covering part of my girl's roosts in carpet (not the fluffy stuff that can trap toes, but like a utility carpet) be a good idea or a bad idea?? On a whim, I tied an old woven saddle pad to part of the roost and about half seem to like it and the other half don;t seem to have a preference...I would think it would be more comfortable and warmer in the winter? Thoughts???Krista
