The nesting box I built

We have been needing a new nesting box for our chickens for awhile.  Husband threw together one a year ago but it had many faults.  The chickens pooped in it.  It was too big for the need and it just didn't work.

So today I decided to re purpose a piece of broken furniture to make a better box.  We recently had to remove an old dresser that was falling apart.  The drawers however were still in good shape and I thought "Hey!  If I put a piece of wood across the front it would make a perfect nesting box. 



Nothing like fresh eggs!


So out the garage I go and about a half an hour later BAM! I have a new nesting box.



The chickens seem to like it too!
