Turkey nests

[phoenixmama]

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before...sorry. But, what dimensions should a turkey nest be?

24" H x 18" W x 24" D

This will be good for 4-5 hens

We make ours 18" x 18" square with an open front and an 8 inch tall "lip" to hold the best material in, when the hen is actually sitting on the eggs we close off the front to about a 10 inch wide gap, that makes it easy for the sitting hen to keep the others out. Multiple hens can lay in the nest but when one takes it for sitting it's hers.
