Nesting box design- so far, so good!

This is really nice! Did you follow a plan or create your own? What are the dimensions?

I didn’t draw a plan, but I could do that, My goal was having each nesting area to be 12x12.

Just that one hole for egg to roll thru?

Not sure what you mean, the back wall of each nesting area leaves about a 2 inch gap at the bottom for the eggs to roll under and into the collection compartment.

Oh, now I see the gap(had to zoom and lighten)........and what I thought was a hole.

Yea, my daughter painted eggs on the wall to give the chickens a little hint as to where to lay.

Did you glue it down or just cut a snug fit?
My girls scratch so hard they kick out all their nesting material!

Ya my girls kick the actual nest boxes out
