Good morning!
I have chickens ranging in age from 2 months to 5 weeks so I am not at the point where I am worried about nesting but I would like to get it set up in the next couple weeks so it is done. I have a bunch (8 buckets and 15 chickens) of new 5 gallon buckets from a hardware store. I was told I could use those as nesting boxes but I wonder if I need to worry about air circulation by drilling holes in them? Or cut the top off? Or can I just screw them on the wall with a guard along the top bottom to keep the nest inside?
Thanks for your help!
