I've been through so many threads about coop design, nest boxes, etc. I've looked at the coops section as well & the coop interior thread. I am interested in seeing pics of your nest boxes with maybe a description about the size, depth, etc. Hopefully hubby is gonna get to the nest boxes on the new coop tomorrow.
I remember in particular seeing a couple of solutions to hens roosting in nest box by putting luaun or something. I remember one having a V-shape cut into it. I also remember one that I can't think of right now & I have searched & searched & can't find it....something to make it uncomfortable to roost on the edge of the nest box. I would like to incorporate something like this in front of our nest boxes because that is a problem we have right now...usually one of lower ones in the pecking order getting knocked off the roost & then going to the nest box.
Or a link to a certain thread including one of these I'm talking about will be fine cause I can't find the ones I'm thinking of...must have overlooked them. I can picture in my mind, but can't describe it...lol
But i would also like to see any pics or plans & descriptions of any nest boxes. We are going to do the ones with outside access with lift p lid.
