I bought a group of premade nesting boxes from a feed store, but I am not sure how far off the ground to put them. When I lived in Sacramento the next door neighbors were Ukrainian refugees who fled in the 1990s due to post-Soviet religious persecution, and their homebuilt boxes were around 18-24 inches off the ground with slats of wood used to provide the hen and her new babies a way to get down from their perch. I was wondering if I should do something like this. I was thinking concrete blocks topped with those blocks that have wood tops so I can bolt the boxes down to keep them from flying away in the wind.
