Thoughts on the "roll-away" nesting box

[Scottankarens]

I'm in the process of finalizing our large capacity coop. We plan to have around 50+ birds for the primary purpose of selling the eggs to family and friends and a secondary purpose to sell hatching eggs. How do you feel about the roll-away boxes? Pro's/Cons? If you like them, please share with me a picture of your optimal design if you have one. Thank you all for you input!

we have 89 chickens. we have to use roll away boxes otherwise we end up with a ton of broody hens! with all these hens laying at the same time it made it difficult. we also like to be able to leave the farm for a weekend. so roll away boxes are really good for that as well.
