The coop has a little corner set aside right in front of the maintenance door. Partly to keep the deep litter in the coop as we maintain the coop (open and close the door / going in and out). There's a bucket in the corner with fresh litter, or pine shavings. To add in as needed. Based on some in-person and camera observation, Yang sleeps on the bucket rim.
Might as well make it more comfortable, and the stash of pine shavings cleaner...
Took a piece of cardboard, put packing tape on one side, and laid it over the shavings in the bucket. Then added a layer of shavings and coop dust. Then topped off the bucket with a perch, made from wood from the 70% off / purple pile at a big box store. And voila! A perch bucket!
Haven't been able to get a good pic of Yin and Yang roosting on it, but they have been since. The surface and edges were sanded down, but that's it for the work.
