Hi my fellow chickie lovers..
So im going to make my nest boxes hopefully today. The shelving (2 shelves) thats already there is what i plan to make into their nest boxes. Its..
57" long
19" deep
17.5" tall
So im thinking i can make 8 nest boxes, (4 per shelf)
14" wide
18" deep
17" tall
My question is, will a 14" wide nest box work? Or is that too narrow? Im sure the other 2 measurements are fine... (thinks about it...) right??? Lol
If it helps we have 2 small bantams, but the others are larger.. isa's, light brahmas, a barred rock, EE's, a silky, buff orpingtons and wyandottes.. i think i remembered everyone? Lol
Anyway.. i will do some research right now on the average size but i really prefer finding out from the tried and true views
