Saw somewhere a home depot/lowe's bucket being used as a nestbox. Does anyone know if one of those would be large enough for an Orpington hen?

Here are our nest boxes. 2 of ours were made out of an old plexiglass fish fry(baby) rearing tank that had been collecting dust in our shed for many years...

I used sections of old soaker hose on the front section of the boxes to protect the girls' feet and left-over paint to paint them.

Cost to build them: nothing

If nest boxes are available inside the coop, but you want to add more, is it necessary that they're accessible from inside?
