Also how big are they any pictures we could see. My husband was going to build one for me but never did.

He sells them for $100 painted, they take about 6+ hours to make, and then add the cost of the supplies to make them, they are pretty reasonable. I use about 1/2 - 2/3 of a 50lb bag in mine each time. He does not make a ton of them, just does it on weekends when he is not busy, my dad is the type that can't stand to be still!

Even when he is sitting his knee is always bouncing! Anyways, I will see if I can load a picture of it, if it does not work let me know!

Ok, but how smart do your chickens have to be to figure it out and NOT bean themselves in the face when it opens? Mine are dumb...yeah, no reeeeally dumb.....

WOW, will you come to my house next??!!!

I'm scouring the net right now trying to find plans to guide me as to how to build exterior nest boxes also. Would like to incorporate a slant to get the eggs to roll to the back. We'll see what I end up with!

Ooh! never even thought of putting the nest boxes in at a slant... Hmmm... I do have chicken coops for dummies... Though I have issues with following directions... lol

It has a few nice plans for coops in it, with and without exterior nest boxes...

Mine aren't quite exterior, but I do have a slant built into them. I followed plans posted on this website by "Opa". The eggs roll back into a storage room. I don't have the matts he uses in them, I just use a bix of shredded paper and wood shavings. If I don't make it deep, the eggs roll back.
