My young girls are about 13 weeks old and it's time for me to get them a nest box to get use to. I defiantly want a rollaway nest box. I've looked at building one my self but I am leaning towards buying a Hen Gear 48" or a Best Nest 48" rollaway. I think the metal nest box would be much easier to keep clean and free from parasites and mites which a wooden nest can easily harbor. I already have the walls framed out for a 48"x 18" nest in the new coop so that I can collect the eggs from outside the coop. I like the Hen Gear's rear access panel design for easy laying mat removal and you can pull the perch bar up to keep them out of the nest at night. I've also looked at Duncan's six hole rollaway nest but it isn't reversible but is an option. If anyone here has used a Hen Gear or Best Nest rollaway nest or prefer a home made rollaway nest instead, I would really appreciate feedback of your thoughts and opinions. I want to get it installed around the first week of August so the girls can get use to it being in the coop before they start to lay their eggs.
Thanks,
Rodney
