Finally got the adobe Acrobat so can upload plans in PDF to the forums. Nest Box Plans - These are a full size version of the Nest Boxes I use. I haven't included the concave as you can decide what you want to do. I use External Ply for this job as you will want to soak them in Disinfectant between rounds. Link to comment

Some people are worried that it's too hard for the hen to get out. But none of my hens have had any problems geting in and out. Link to comment

Some people are worried that it's too hard for the hen to get out. But none of my hens have had any problems geting in and out. I am sure "in the wild" they have further to climb in and out of tree hollows I am really looking forward to my new nestboxes, Daz :fear Link to comment

I have 2 bought ones from the pet shop and they are pains in the bum, because the chicks jump out when they're not even 3 weeks old. Most of mine nest box are similar to yours, but having the slide in front cut into 2 is the best, don't know why I never thought of it before, and I have ones that the lid opens from the top and they are a pain in the but to keep clean. Daz today Greg just cut me 5 out so I can make them up and replace them with the old nest as they finish their current nest ready for the next birds to go in, ( That will be the birds I bred from last year and my new birds that Greg bought me for my birthday.
