I need advice on making roosting nests for my chickens. It can't be to difficult because I'm not very good with carpentry.

Thanks Sherry

Try milk crates!! There easy to clean and work great!! Ask at your local store or convenance store for broken ones they usally givum to you or you could ask milk delivery people!!

I have used five gallon buckets on their sides with firewood wedged on either side to keep them steady. With some shavings or straw inside they worked fine for me!

You people are great! Now I have nest box ideas and I won't have to pay my kids to make them for me. My coop is an old ice-fishing house. How's that for recycling!
