I'm trying to design my nest boxes and I think that a double decker will serve best. The wall for the boxes is only 40” wide and would fit likely 3 boxes in width. But I’m planning for 10-12 chickens and am worried 3 boxes may not be enough (chicken math!).
There are tons of plans out there for single level boxes with either top or back opening. Given how creative BYC people are, has anyone ever made a double decker box (I’m thinking six total, three on each level) with exterior access (back on lower level and either back or top on upper level). I’ve seen stacked metal ones, but no DIY versions.
Has anyone ever made this? And suggestions? Thanks!
