I'm finishing up my coop and run while my pullets are in a temporary coop and mini run. I'm building the nest box right now and intend two spaces for six hens. Because four of my ladies will be on the larger end (8 lbs) and two medium, I'm thinking of doing a nesting trough. So, I'm thinking I'll just not divide the box but leave it twice as wide. I also understand that the hens develop a preferred nest and this is another way to address that. I'll leave it covered until they are laying and then will provide a curtain.
Does anyone have experience with both types and can offer some pros and cons?
