Non Traditional Nesting Boxes

[J.Pryce]

I've got old cardboard boxes, after a short time I just replace the box if it begins to fall apart. They last quite a long time

Oh, I LOVE that idea! I don't need any more nest-boxes, but dang.... I'm gonna keep an eye out for old mail boxes and collect 'em, so "if" I someday build yet another coop, I'll use those!!!

In my three coops and duck house currently utilized as a youngster segregation/integration "coop," I have four different styles of nest boxes: purchased coop kit with boxes on the ends, a double nest box I bought and put into the A-Frame I built, a rear access rollaway nest box I built into the Big Coop, and two plastic milk crates in the duck house/chick integration lodgings.

I also have several five gallon buckets I got free from the local grocery store's bakery; those are used for feeders and waterers. And spares.... never can have too many empty white buckets with lids!

I mounted mine on a board between 2 posts, just like it would look beside the road. I even had a couple of the flags raised.
