The holes on left are where the rollaway next boxes were in roll out configuration. This will get hardware cloth now. The marked up picture shows the red where the poop boards will go at 30-32” with roost bars centered 8” above. I’ll add more metal panels to the outside on this side to block wind. Though I think I’ll leave even more open up too.
The green is the new next box location stacked. I’m switching the roll out to roll in because I have to go in for straggler eggs anyway and it saves me cutting the metal siding. I will have a large best nest box under two mediums. Some kept laying under the box before so i figured i would lower it. I will add two plastic nest boxes over there somewhere too for birds who don’t like the community one.
I want to block off the bottom of the 10’ side for chicks, rooster jail, broody birds, etc, but have not convinced the hubby.
