Nesting Boxes

[GentleFarmer]

My chicks are 6 weeks old. They love being in the coop and spending time in the chicken run. I have the nesting boxes boarded off at the moment. How old should the chicken be when I open the nesting boxes up? - I have 2 Rhode Island Red, 2 Pymouth Rock, and 2 Easter Eggers.

If it were me I'd open them up right around four and a half months old. Put some golf balls or fake eggs in there.

That's when I do it too.
