Nest box


Finished the new nest box for the chickens. Now we just need to get rid of all the random boxes they have been laying in, in the barn. I like easter egg hunts, but not every day.

The plans came from Storey publishing. If I had to do it over I would make it about 3"-4" shorter. The boxes are just to open, chickens prefer something more enclosed. I added a piece of plywood under the roof edge to remedy that.

The box is mounted with a French cleat for easy removal for cleaning and/or relocation.
