1 box for 3 leghorns, it works fine so far. You can read more about the coop here.

Great looking coop! I love how the nest box opens! We added a nest box after the coop was built and what a drafty mess we made

. I've used so much weatherstripping...still had to wrap it with heavy plastic for the cold winter...this gives me a new approach to think about ... hubby will be thrilled,

The arrow is perfect! I have a SLW I'd like to understand NOT to lay under the coop! lol

So cute!! Looks cozy and inviting!

This looks like a much less drafty design that ours. We have gaps every~where! Had to plastic wrap it for the winter...

That's original! May be the perfect solution to the tractor we are planning to build this spring. Did you paint them?

Those are so fun!! Puts a whole new meaning to "filling the toilet"!

Will you hose these out or just change the straw? Are they heavy?

Are you asking me or the toilet nester

Oh man that's so sad! :aww

Just a couple weeks ago I went out for my evening chores and one of the nest boxes( I use covered cat boxes too) was tipped over...door side flat against the floor. I thought.... oh some girls were gettting rowdy today...I put it up right and a hen come RUNNING out of there...poor girl, I was shocked!

Folks be aware of this issue when useing them.

Wow, I have one in the run...I'll wire it to the chain link first thing in the AM. Many, many thanks!!

This is our nest box. I found it at Walmarts and it is made by Rubbermaid. The lid locks down nicely and the clear plastic front drops down and acts as a little bridge. There is a black border at the bottom which works great to keep the Bantam eggs from rolling out. Sophie the Papillon "Watch Dog" approved it and guards out 3 little City Bantams from roaming cats. We now have ten eggs inside and hope Lucy will set on them.
