Nest Box Question

[tpeila]

Do nest boxes have to wood tall wood between them?
I made our with 2x4's there are 3 boxes next together but no "divider" tall between them.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you are asking if they have to be connected, then no, they don't.

you don't have too but it is better if you have divider, so you don't get pecking.

That answered my question. They are all connected there is just no like plywood "divider" standing up in between them.

Hens like privacy...when I tried that mine started finding other places to lay their eggs. A good nest box length width would be a 12X12 with a divider. Other wise they may just find their own privacy out in the yard or someplace you may not find the eggs

Ok adding dividers Sunday! They should start laying any day now! Guess I should give them their privacy!
