I have tried searching the site but couldn’t find what I was looking for. We are making a big metal dog cage/run into a mobile chicken run just for the day when we choose to pet them get some fresh bugs and such in the grass area. I know I can get waterer to hang on the wire but any ideas on nesting boxes?
 
If you post pics of your setup and/or drawing of planned lay out you might get some help on location of where you should place your nest boxes.
Just off the cuff here, build a frame out of 1x4 or 2x4. Build 2 (1 inside/1 outside) and thru- bolt it to sandwich the fencing. Then mount your nest box.
 
Any kind of lightweight box, toss in a little straw. You don't have to mount it to the chicken tractor, just reach in, take it, replace after moving the tractor.
