Nesting Box Heighth.

[rayrose]

Building my first coop, which has to be close to the ground. How high can I put the nesting
box, and still make it accessible for the hens, so I don't break my back bending over to collect
eggs and clean the box.

Might depend on what kind of coop you're building....but....

The nest box will be outside the coop and the roosts will be on the opposite wall.

The nest box will be outside the coop and the roosts will be on the opposite wall.

When you mean outside do you mean you are able to collect the eggs outside, while the hens lay them inside?

Yes the nest box is attached to the coop from the outside.
You raise the lid to access the nests.
