Nest Box Sizes?

[redrodeo]

I am doing a Silkie only coop. I was wondering what size nest boxes Silkies need?

I would leave them the standard size so that more than one can fit in there since they will squeeze in there anyway LOL.

They go broody a lot and you will always have some sitting and taking up the nest boxes, so make plenty of boxes.

Nest boxes
In my nest boxes I fold a feed bag to fit (nest boxes are 1 ft³). When a bag gets soiled; fold a new one; pop out the soiled; pop in the new. Feed bags are a nylon mesh bag.
Frozen poop just peels off in below freezing temperatures and just flakes off in summer when left out in the sun to bake and dry.

I have 65 trips around the sun it is the best method I have stumbled upon.

Make sure the twine is removed from the open end of the bag it can get tangled around your birds.
