Simple DIY Roll Away Nesting Boxes

Here are some simple do it yourself roll away nesting boxes that I use in my coop. Mine has 7 stalls and took 2 sheets of plywood. Feel free to reach out with any questions or even to show off your coop!

We are working on building an 8' by 8' shed coop and want to copy your build for the nesting boxes. Do you have any additional advice before we get started?

[@scrapyardchickens]

Hey! I wish you luck on your build, that's exciting! For the Nesting boxes specifically the only thing I would add is once you know your chickens are okay with the material you line the box with I would glue it down so they can't scratch it out. Let me know if you have any questions! I do have full coop build videos as well if you need to reference those. Thanks for watching!

What kind of staples did you used to put it together ?

[@scrapyardchickens]

I actually used Brad nails instead of staples. That paired with wood glue hasn't given me any problems!

How thick should the plywood be? Does it matter if it’s rough or not

[@scrapyardchickens]

I used 3/4 inch plywood. It doesn't matter too much as long as you sand down anything that might interfere with the hens and have some sort of mat down for them to set on. Good luck!

I cannot see the dimension on the back side of your layout. It looks like 14 3/4. Is that correct? Im trying to get the slope right.

[@scrapyardchickens]

It is 14.5 inches. Thanks!

[@robertsmith6709]

So the measurement across the bottom is 20" ?

[@scrapyardchickens]

That's correct!
