    Roll-out nesting box completed.

    I decided to do a separate post on this since it is the most complicated part of the coop build. When I first joined BYC, there was a lovely man on here, Opa, who offered plans on building a roll-out nest box. I must have read that whole thread a dozen times. I made some modifications to the...

    Roll out nest boxes in winter

    Does anyone living in more northern cold climates have experience with roll out nesting boxes? I'm planning my coop and I want to buy or make a roll out nesting box, but I want to understand if/how to insulate the external section of the roll out box so that the eggs don't freeze. Anyone out...

    Hey, I have 14 hens who all lay brown eggs and one hen who lays white eggs. My hens have been taking the white eggs out of the nesting boxes. Does anyone know why they would do this?

    Roll out nest box bedding?

    So I’m thinking the next batch of chicks I get I will have to build a new coop for so they don’t have the same habits. Now that my whole flock of 7 are pretty much into egg eating I think my only option is to cull or fight this issue until this batch passes. It’s constant two steps fwd and one...

    Roll out nest box problems

    Hi all! Just wondering if anyone else has this problem with their rollout nest box. Mine rolls to the front and there’s a door to lift to get the eggs.

    Roll out nest boxes

    I’ve been looking at several designs for roll out nest boxes. My pullets are 14 weeks old so we are still in the planning stage. I’m thinking it would be easier to prevent egg eating from the start rather than try to correct the problem later. My question is this: do chickens actually do ok with...

    I needed a larger nest box for my tool shed coop because I added three more chickens to it yesterday. Total of six now. I found @jthornton roll out design and built one this morning. Mine has a slanted roof because it’s not under anything. I tested it with an egg and it rolls to the bottom...

    Roll Out Nest Box Mk4

    While chatting with @TexasWineGuy I was inspired to build a front exit roll out nest box for my new coop. The design is to go underneath the poop table and be attached to the poop table so if I move the poop table the nest box goes with it. Originally I was going to build a rear discharge roll...

    Anyone using these roll out boxes for ducks?

    Hello, my ducks are staying outside during the night next to a pond, where they also lay their eggs. That worked pretty well for some time, but now eggs are dissappearing.

    Nesting Box where Eggs Roll out?

    I have a question. I have seen the nesting boxes where the eggs roll down into a collection bin at the front of the nesting boxes, but do they have any where the eggs roll to the back? So if I was to hook it into a coop and cut out a hole for the back of the collection area, then not even have...
