    New rollout nest design Picture heavy-edited 1/21

    Roll out boxes remade in PT plywood this time and I put a roof on the boxes to help keep moisture out. The girls are already happily laying in them.

    Do you have a picture of your modification? It sounds like a great idea. I'm thinking about making the bottom open to the back only and use it for storage since they don't like to use the lower boxes.

    I made the six box design and it was working great - but I think I messed up on the plywood. I must have used interior rather than exterior because it delaminated and grew fungus. So I will be working soon to repair it and use the right materials next time. Now that I have a portable drill...

    You sent me the two box plan. I initially thought about building two and stacking them. But went with the six box instead. Someone likes the upper level, but most fight for the lower ones. I built a ladder to encourage the big ones to try the upper level too.

    Okay yes I see that. Thank you! I noticed a leaf in the nestbox after I installed the pads so someone has been curious. Hopefully they will start using it today.

    My nest pads came today and I installed them. I ended up having to cut them to fit because of my poor carpenter skills. Lol I now have to recut my back boards because I failed to realize the nest pads would bring the floor height up. It's always something! How do I handle the gaps at the...

    The boxes are in place. I have to build the exterior door, weatherproof & build a perch. Someone already jumped inside, but they didn't lay there yet, they laid their eggs on the floor under the boxes.

    Thank you! I believe I will do the same. Once I have it installed I will take a picture.

    Wow - has it really been two years since I got the plans from you Opa! I'm embarrassed to admit that while I wanted to make the nest box - just didn't make it a priority until now. I'm tired of hunting down eggs and finding them partially eaten all over the run. I'm still working on it - I...

    Okay - maybe I'm just dense - but I can't see how the partition parts are connected. I'm planning on putting together the six nest box but after reading the whole thread I see that no one has mentioned the basic how to assemble. Can someone help me understand how the walls and partition and...
