About halfway down I have some pretty good detail on my nest boxes.

OP good luck with your boxes!! These pics are awesome and very helpful - we are trying to decide if we want internal or external nest boxes. Somebody mentioned that the eggs can freeze easier in the nest boxes in the winter if they are external - so I am debating. Love the designs you have used!

looks great. My husband wants me to make internal ones too, but I like the outside one. Plus it makes more room inside, right.
I am just amazed of what folks create. I wish I can apprentice under ya'll.

Mine did not freeze this winter. It was my first winter with chickens and one of the worst winters in years. I did have a 100watt heat emitter in the coop
ceiling. It did take the edge of things when it was 0 or below. It is just a nice feeling to go to the outside box like a mail box and take out your eggs.
Good luck with your project.
