I need some ideas

These nests are not very cute, but the chickens like them. We have two wooden dresser drawers, three plastic laundy buckets, one refrigerator drawer and a old roast pan. I was using the roast pan for feed, when the hen claimed it.

We screwed the boxes at different levels on the wall to give chicks a ladder of sorts to get to the roost.The roosts are above the shelf, which helps keep the nest boxes clean. For some reason Jughead likes to hang out in the refrigerator drawer nest.

Well ozark, where you and me's from, that certainly counts as cute!

Thanks for the pic and inspiration!

Thank you. Here are some of my boxes, in the large fowl part of my hen house. We have 16 of these boxes.
Excuse the bad photo, I took it though my "peep hole".

This one is the top of a converted dresser.There are boxes under it in the dresser.

Don't know how cute, but a nice job of re-purposing a corner hutch.

I actually need just house hold turned to nesting box ideas too, for mine and my parents standard size girls, my parents do have a metal nesting box but we put everyone (ducks, chickens, guineas) on lock down over the winter because we always lose at least half the flock to predators if we don't, and my parents one little nesting box will not accommodate all the little nesting butts! Lol and my girls just have a couple dog houses turned nest to use and they don't much care for them

I use flower pots, cat litter boxes, crates, etc.

The girlz actually wait in line for this box:

I love the drawers and corner hutch!

Holy cow! I did not even realize this was a corner hutch. Great idea!
