5 Gal Buckets as Nest Boxes

[2txmedics]

I noticed the milk crate, I have two in mine, they try to get into them...but there weight turns them over on there sides....how do you prevent this??? I also took a 2 shelf book shelf, night stand sort of...turned it on its side, nailed a board on the front for a ledge and they love that one.

There was a post quite awhile back with pictures of a member who uses 5 gallon buckets bolted to the wall of her coop She also had something fastened on the bottom of the openings to keep the nest materials inside the buckets. I did a search but couldn't find it.
