We have put true 2X4 with a planed edge as roosts. Is this too wide? Chooks all sit with their foot flat on the roost.

I use them too and like it for the birds. Bantams get 2x2" here.

A wide roost enables the chickens to hunker down over their feet in winter, cover them with feathers and keep them warm.
