Hello, I'm a newbie here and I'm in the process of building my coop and the nest boxes. No Chickens yet. I've constructed the nest with a slight slope so the eggs roll gently to the back without access from the hen. Has anyone had any luck with Astro Turf to line the boxes? Also, right now it's one big open nest, about 16" tall x 16" deep x 4' long across one end, about 16" off of the floor. Has anyone had any luck with a open design, allowing as many as can get in method? or should I partition the 4' space into 3 or 4 individual nest for more privacy? Any advice from the seasoned vets out there is greatly appreciated!! If Astro Turf is not a good idea, any recommendations that would still allow a egg to roll and provide some padding? Thanks!
