Seeking plans for External Roll Out Nest Box

[sunshinewish]

Hi, I've been researching nest boxes and have concluded that external roll way boxes are for me. For the most part, roll out boxes here on BYC aren't for outside retrieval. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to recreate something complicated from pictures so I really need actual plans. I've done internet search but haven't had any luck.

I see what you mean about having difficulty finding plans for external egg roll out boxes...most of the ones I saw you had to go inside the coop to collect the eggs.

You might have already seen this, but here's a link to one external one:

Not a lot of "plans" but lots of pictures on how they built it. One thing I didn't care for was that it appears the eggs would be exposed to the outside elements. You could easily fix that with a hinged cover over the part where the eggs end up.

Good luck!

Thanks for wishing me luck. I think I'm going to need it. Hopefully, I find what I'm looking for.
