I need some opinions on communal nest boxes! I’m reconfiguring my nest boxes and was thinking one big nest box with a single divider in the middle? I currently have my nest boxes inside with a heavy door on the outside to access it. We planned on moving the nest boxes to the exterior to add more square footage in the coop! Easy plans and pictures are very welcome!
 
This is an article on my Roll Out Nest Box Mk3 including plans. It is a single nest box 36" wide and I've had 4 pullets in at one time sitting quietly waiting for the egg to come out. Then the eggs roll out to the back for collection.

Those that have them love them,
those that don't love them don't have them.
I don't see the point of them.
Tried them at first, a double nest and 2 singles, only one bird at time used the double, so I put divider back in and 3 birds used that space at once.
