external nesting boxes Can I see yer pics??

[sueche]

I am looking for external boxes and how to build and attach them to the wall.

I am framing out my wall on the coop. btw I have no construction skills. I have been just studying everyones process pictures.

Now its time for me to make some nesting boxes. I cant visualize how to make them or attach them to the frame. I tried to search here but there is not really process pictures for me to follow.

If you have any pics or links to your byc page that shows me, I will be jumping for joy.

Or if you can simply explain basic design principle. I don't know why I am probably making it harder than it is.



thanks
You are Awesome!

I built the nest boxes from plywood and then slid the boxes into the 2 X 4 frame of the coop and screwed it in. You can see pics on my byc page.

Here is a link to my pallet coop with outside nest boxes they are made from left over plywood and the tops are from an old wooden toy box. Hope his helps some. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=477934t

Here are my nestboxes in progress

Here they are attached.

Here is the frame work for them before I put the wall pieces together

This is the wall framing with where the nestboxes went

We attached the nest box framing to the outside of our coop
and we used the existing 2x4 wall studs as "dividers" for each box.

i did it this way too. a lot easier and less work than framing the nest boxes separately and then having to attach that framing to the other framing. i made the end pieces and bottom pieces long enough to fit all the way to the inside edge of the wall framing and attached with long wood screws, they ain't goin no where!

just click my BYC page link under my name, it's all there!

But this time I am cheating. I am going to get two of these:

We are making a larger coop because our original plan was 4 and now we have 10!
