TSC nesting boxes?

[CalliBee]

I’m wanting to upgrade from my DIY nesting boxes and get these. Does your chickens like them? Pros? Cons?

Mine did not like them. Unsure if it was the box itself or placement.

They look a bit snug for large birds

That’s what I was thinking

The interior is good size, otherwise agree for the opening.

Well I just left tsc with one anyways. Now I got a hole in my pocket. We’ll see how it goes!

Please do update as time goes by.

Will do! Mine are picky and won’t use the boxes I made them. Some will but others will not. I’m thinking not enough privacy so I’m hoping these will do the trick. Also they free up room in my coop!

So far, day 3: No one’s used it. I put some golf balls in there and not one egg.
I’ll give it some more time before I move it’s location. If that doesn’t work I’m thinking about cutting the opening of the whole a bit more

I had one up & all my chickens fought over it. I moved it outside & they went back to their old nest boxes. Weirdos.
