plastic nesting boxes

[Anny]

Does any one on here use any of the plastic (easy to clean) nesting boxes they have online?

Like this one?

Do you like it? do you hate it?

It reminds me of a urinal!

funny,reallyvery funny lol [;-)

maybe I can find a building under demolition and salvage the urinals
and recycle them as nests.....rotfl

I started building a battery of nests out of 5 gal plastic pails.
leave the covers on and cut about 2/3 of the bottom out..leave a lip to hold the bedding in and line them up along a 2x6 board hung on edge for strength.. run a 2x4 just in front of them for the perch..

or line them up along the floor for hatching boxes..

Yeah just put a drain plug in it and each call duck would have it's own little pool to play in! LOL, turn on the water and a fountain is born!!!

I've never used them, but I examined the photo closely. IMO they should work very well. I lke the fact that they are vented and can be taken down and sterilized very easily.

they look nice,but they look pricey.I like dish pans too.But if you got the bucks,they probably will last a long time. Will
