HELP- Quick

My husband is building a coop for our girls right now- the first we have ever had. How wide and deep do the nest boxes need to be???????

12 x 12 works for most breeds. 14 inches of head room.

On behalf of yer hubby, if he's outside building a coop.... What are you doing inside on the puter? Take that man a cold beverage.

Great thing about a 12x12 is you can get a dust pan in there to scoop out shavings!
You need one nest for every 4-5 birds.

The man has a cold beer. It is the least I could do.
