Please Post Pictures of Your Creative Nesting Boxes

[Sir Birdaholic]

I wish I had pictures of my old Bantam nesting boxes. I sunk 2 posts about 4 feet apart & sticking out of the ground about 30", with a 2x6 across the top of them. I mounted 6 mailboxes on the 2x6, & it made the greatest conversation piece when I was showing off my flock.

The icing buckets are usually white. Guess you could paint them?

I'll have to take pictures tomorrow. We use those small cat carriers that we can pick up for $5 at thrift stores.

BUT we're getting ready to change everything around so who knows what I'll come up with next! Great ideas on here!

Here is one that I had just finished. I made 3 like this and my girls love them.

I wish you had pictures too! Sound so cute and fun! I just saw a book that had an "english" box, a little house on top of a pole with ladder like steps up the side - wonder if my hens would love it as much as me?​

Do we do this for them...... or us?

We do this for us.

I'm converting some old radiograph (x-ray) storage shelves from work. They were destined for the dumpster, and I thought they'd make great next boxes. Sorry, no pics yet.

Two drawer file cabinet with sharp edges blunted and a wood egg-stop across the front. Ive had this two ways, hung on the wall horizontally and sitting on the floor like it would as a file cabinet. They are super cheap to buy at flea markets.

I stole this image from another BYCer's post or page, because I absolutely love it and plan on making one of my own very similar to it (when I have a coop large enough to accommodate it).
