No I do not have roll out boxes. That was another chicken egg person showing me how he did his. I collect my eggs from the nesting boxes and then I incubate them for hatching and increasing my flock with new hens. jthornton was the person that made the post.Did you build your roll out nest box
Welcome to BYC @Jonm6825 !Did you build your roll out nest box
Ohhh...can I show off mine?
Even though we have a decent sized coop I wanted to save space so I built this design. Sliding nest boxes mounted under the poop tray.
They slide back to the wall so the girls can do their business in private...
And then slide out to the front for easy egg removal...
A side benefit is that the entire nest box assembly is easily removed. Turned out to be handy since we have months to go before any of ours will be laying. I have the nest boxes stored away in my shop.
What an exquisite piece of workmanship! Love this idea.
These are adorable! I will have to see what I can come up with. Thanks for sharing!
These are my nesting boxes.
They are basic but do the trick and the hens love them.
