moveable nesting boxes pics please

I use 2 covered cat litter boxes for mine. My hens seem to like it and if I did need to pick it up and move it, they have handles! If you need a picture I can take one, but they are just cat litter boxes with lids!

I switched to storage totes a few months back... stackable, moveable, different sizes for different size hens... cutting entrance holes are easy. I leave the lids one for most all of them

In the hen house, I plan to put them on shelves where the old boxes used to be and turn them on their side, cut a hole in the bottom (which is now the front) and turn the tops (now the backs) to the egg collection doors, so I can still collect from the outside & use my doors.

Great ideas everyone. No I do not have anything built as they are only just now 12 weeks old. Since this is a large breed wider is better. Guess I shall keep an eye out for all these thing and see what I like best. I already have the cat boxes for my cats so that just might be it. They are deep enough not sure if they are wide enough.

I use stacking recycle bins. I like plastic as it is easy to clean and disinfect.

I currently just use a wooden box set on the ground. But, I learned about this little beauty on a different thread. Just imagine how neat it'd look with hay and a hen in it!

I'm thinking about getting one since, hopefully, I will need another nest next spring...

Thats cheaper than crates half that size here.


Nice setup Allison.
