Nesting boxes
« on: September 20, 2010, 15:54 »
Hi all,
We are giving our coop a 60 minute make over.. started at 9 this morning and we are still at it!!!  Can anyone suggest how many nesting boxes would be best for 10 hens please?

Thanks folks
3 dogs now, 2 passed RIP Poppy and Paige, one wonderful husband and a new adventure on this wonderful island

three will be ample, however you can bet they all want the same one  ::)
Staffies are softer than you think.

Thanks Joyful

You're right I know that for certain :D.  We are just making coop cozy for winter and as we have had problems with the ex batts, who are our olderst hens and have taken to sleeping in nesting boxes,  we decide to put them on the outside (nesting boxes not hens)and then we can block them off in the evening.  Hopefully it will make for a sweeter coop
