Well, we finally finished our coop. I'll post pictures as soon as I can figure out how!
But I have a question about the nest boxes.
We have 7 chickens, none of which are laying yet. They are about 19 weeks, so we are hoping they start soon.
We have 3 nesting boxes. I put straw in the nest boxes and a golf ball too!
Do you think it is necessary to have some kind of curtains in front of the nesting boxes?
I hung a cotton napkin to cover the opening and then cut them into strips to make it easier for the girls to get in the next boxes.
I don't think anyone has been in the nest yet, and I not even sure they know they are there!
Any thoughts?
