Nest Boxes

[fowl farm]

How often do guineas use nest boxes? I wasn't going to build one in the guinea house, but maybe I should?

Mine have NEVER used a nesting box they dig hollows in the litter of the coop or find some crazy place on the ground outside. Mine do like to have a sheet of plywood leaning against the wall of the coop to get behind and lay eggs

I've had two go broody and neither used the nest -- they tend to hollow out a place in the chicken house litter or hollow out a spot on the ground in the pen or when free ranging. Guess it is the wild bird nature in them.
