So I am needing to build some nest boxes for my banties. What do you fill the boxes with and where do you get it? How much is it?
im going to use straw or shavings. i noticed my local ACE Hardware carries it. We have ONE feed store, and they are astronomical in rates.
right now I have clay cat litter in the bottom of the chicken house. Its easy to scoop out the droppings with an scoop. I am going to make neast boxes How deep dose the nest box stuff have to be? What size box should they be for some banties ? Thank you everyone for all the help
Hi, Like PP said, TSC cheapest for pine shavings. Need about 3"-4" deep so be sure the front of your nest boxes has a lip to keep shavings in when the girls go scratching around in them. Good luck Erik
I use dried lawn clippings for the nest boxes. Free and the hens like it more than hay or wood chips.
