nesting box dimensions

[aim4balance]

Is 19 inches high (at the back), the base is 12 inches wide, and the opening is 7.5 inches. I followed online instructions, but b/c I only had scrap wood to work with, my dimensions were just a tad off. I thought it was still ok though. What do you think? Just making sure they were done right so as to "welcome the ladies" haha

How large are the individual nests? Usually people recommend something like 1ft*1ft*1ft, but with smaller birds it can be a bit smaller.

Base is 12 inches (so 1 foot) by 11 inches. But the slanted roof means that the opening when they walk in is at 10 inches, and the back (top of the slant) measures 19 inches from the bottom.

I have 2 RIR, 2 white leghorns and 1 americauna.

I also have RIRs and Ameraucanas and my nesting boxes are 12"x12"x12." They seem to like it just fine

Anyone trying smaller nesting boxes for bantams? I'm considering 10"x10"x12". Thoughts?
