Chicken nesting boxes wanted, Kamloops

Am not a very handy person, but looking to upgrade to some nicer newer nesting boxes around Kamloops, please let me kow if you have extra,
thanks

Hey Rosie C, one of the chickens favourite nesting boxes in my barn is a large black planter that I bought a tree in. Cut half of the bottom out and screw it to the wall, the top is too the wall, so I used some of those round thing a migiggies to keep it on, fill with shavings or straw and you are good to go.
The thingamigiggie is the round flat thing, geeppers I can't think of the name right now.

Thanks Chickeesmom, I will try that, I have all sorts of stuff like that around, so shouldnt be to hard

plant saucers?

They are actually the buckets the tree's come in. I have used them here but I think mine were too small so the bigger ladies dont use them but a larger one would be perfect.
And I think what Chickee's mom was trying to think of was a "washer" so the screws do not pull through the plastic when mounted on the walls.

Hi Rosie
It was nice to meet you today and I hope you enjoy your new chickens. You may find that the 2 hens lay in the next couple days and then may take some time out to adjust to their new home. I make my own nesting boxes our of recycled wood, but some people use rubbermaid roughnecks with a hole cut in the side. The roughneck should be a bit bigger than the dog kennel you had today with straw or shavings for litter.
Rosie has a Partridge Cochin from Tracy on Vancouver Island, a Light Brahma from our own breeding and a BLRW pullet from Heidi's stock.

Oh thank you Hidden, a washer, honestly, couldn't think of that for the life of me, all four grandkids here and LK so was a bit busy.....
It is amazing what they will nest in, usually someplace kind of hidden, and for some reason they love that black pot.

Thanks Stan, was very nice meeting you, and Im sure I will be seeing you in future
Thanks everyone for your help, I will be woking on it today

Premier 1 Sheep Supplies in the U.S.A. is now selling poultry supplies. With the strong Canadian dollar, it might be worth a look.
