easiest way to block nest boxes?

[ebonykawai]

I don't want to nail a board up if I don't have to. How have you blocked yours until your hens are ready to lay?

I didn't, but you could just toss a sheet over them or tape on some cardboard.

You can fill them as well, put in a milk jug or two..... so the chickens can't get into them.

Great suggestions, thanks so much!

Why can't I think outside the (nest)box?

LOL!!

We fasten wire to ours when the broodies won't stay out. You could try that.

I stuffed empty feed bags in mine.

I have empty five gallon buckets in mine

used a staple gun and some left over plastic cardboard stuff (coroplast) to cover the openings.

Scrap cardboard and a staple gun. Only about three staples needed, then easy to rip off when the time comes to open them.

I set a gallon jug of water in mine. It is too heavy for them to push out and leaves no room for them to get in.
