Nest box

Some have them open. They say that if the nest boxes are dark (some even use curtains on the front) they are less prone to egg eating. Also - good idea to put a golf ball or fake egg in each one so they peck it and nothing happens to prevent egg eating.


I use covered kitty litter pans and like them but it is so far to reach down unless you put them up on a table like me, with room in front for them to stand right outside the box. I put sand in them and scoop with kitty litter scoop if there is poo in there. They do need bleaching out once a month and I switch the sand out and give them dry ones that I keep as spares.
