I can't remove the nest boxes or else there will be a gaping hole in the side of the coop. That's just how the design is. Thanks everyone who helped. And those who didn't.. I have enough crap on my plate with school, work, and extracurriculars. It was a simple vent along with some needed help...

Quote: And if you're not going to help then I suggest you not post. I don't mind the poop, but I just don't want it in the nest boxes. When the boxes were blocked off she slept right on the roost where I wanted her to. Unfortunately I can't remove the nest boxes. They are part of the structure.

Quote: Very good point, and I respect you and your opinions But we aren't chickens. And personally I wouldn't want to sleep in the place where I give birth everyday Not to mention the poop that gets in there..

Quote: No thanks Here are some pictures so you get an idea of what it looks like. Only a couple inches lower, but I guess to them it makes a difference... My idea was to make a higher roost perpendicular to these to so that it goes across the middle.

Quote: Well you would think that manually putting her on the roosts and blocking off the nest boxes would get the idea into her head.

Quote: No, and I thought of that being a possibility. I want to ad a higher roost in there. That's one of the reasons why I don't like the design that we bought.

Quote: Because she is a YEAR OLD for god's sake and should know by now NOT to. Nest boxes are called nest boxes for a reason. Same thing with roosts. And she has been laying since Feb./March.

After two MONTHS of blocking the nest boxes off with cardboard, my EE still insists on sleeping in the nest box!!! Every time I go to shut the coop, she is always in there and it ticks me off Anyone know I can do to stop this? Like put her in a crate for a night or two? Grrrrrrrrr....
