Marans using bucket nesting boxes

[autumnjanene]

Hello! We're in the process of building our "Marans only" chicken coop. I'm considering using 5 gallon buckets as nesting boxes but I know how big Marans can get... do you think they would be able to fit inside of a 5 gallon bucket nesting box or should I go with the classic box style nesting box?

Thank you!

Yes, they will be able to fit.
