EXTERIOR NESTING BOXES | Building a Chicken Coop

Building the nesting boxes on our chicken coop is the next step in our DIY chicken coop build. The nesting boxes we are building sit on the outside of the coop to give more square footage to the chickens inside the coop. There are a total of 4 boxes which we know will be more than enough. We would rather the chickens have too many options for nesting than not enough. The nesting boxes will have a drop-down door on the front side of the chicken coop. This will make it easy for us to access the eggs, and clean out the nesting boxes when it's needed. We used the leftover linoleum flooring from the main floor of the chicken coop over the plywood base and added boards so that the chickens will have something to grip their feet onto when they hop into the nesting boxes. So far we have not finished the nesting boxes but they will be done when we add the siding to the rest of the coop. We also intend on painting most of the interior of the chicken coop and nesting boxes with paint that we can easily wash down.
