How far off the floor do the nesting boxes have to be? Also, how many boxes for 8 golden comets??? The coop and run should be ready for the 4 week old girls by this coming weekend. Can't wait to get my laundry room back!!!! soo sorry posted in wrong place....
Quote: from Washington, new egg Chickens will share nest boxes usually. You can probably go with 2 nest boxes for 8 chickens. More if you want. Nest boxes can be on the floor to up to 24 inches off the floor. I've read mostly 18-24 inches. I have 2 stories in my coop and the buckets are on the 2nd story floor. Also if you post in the wrong forum, not a big deal, just PM a moderator or hit the report button and ask that the thread gets moved to the best forum for answers. Imp- congrats on getting your laundry room back.
golden comets are so pretty from southern ohio..good luck!! DJ By the way..I agree with Imp...good advice!!
On the same topic, how big should they be? We have six of them and they are about 12-16" Are these big enough? How many layers should these support?
