Like the boxes,never thought of using astroturf. Hoping it works well for you.

Hi! This video is awesome. I may have missed it, but how do you get the hens to go in and lay the eggs in the roll away nest?

Fascinating! I'll be a new chicken owner in June, yay!

So could you please show a diagram of what I would have to cut if I wanted the nest boxes at 13"×13".. I'm either tired or dumb, or over complaining things. That's what happens when I watch too many videos.. so are your boxes 16" across the bottom? Thank you

Thank you for the great idea

WHY stupid music???

Hens dont normally poop on the eggs, they step in poop then step on the eggs, keep coop clean, gather eggs regularly, dont let them roost in nest box, no problem

1 year update? This is a good design, I’d love to hear what you learn after a years use, especially about the slope

Awesome video! Thank you! Do you have plans?

Very pretty homestead

Can you leave the eggs for a few days in Texas heat? I worry they will cook.

That music is madness-inducing, which is bad enough, but it is also at the same level as your narration, which makes the video almost unwatchable. If you have poor taste in music and you lack audio skills then DON'T USE MUSIC in your videos.

am goin to do this

Good video..music not needed

Muy bueno

Thanks for the video. I am planning on using another idea for the egg rolling, but will use your design, as I won't be going into the pen. I plan on using coated hardware cloth for my roll, not the carpet as you mentioned. That way andthing that is not eggs can drop down and not get the eggs dirty. Helps when you want to water bath the eggs. But I do like your initial design. I plan on starting the build this week.

Can I please drop my husband off with you, to learn some building skills?😊😂

I bought a metal three nest box from Amazon and built a wooden one for $50 like yours but used three paint trays for the angle and low pile outdoor green carpet. To sum it up my Girls only lay in the wooden nesting box. 😊

Really don't need heat lamps, their body temp is much higher than ours

I like it. Do you have any problems with snakes getting into the coop and eating eggs

I think the nap was a little too long, I used those foam rubber like floor tile that snap together like puzzles it works great and washes off nicely also!! That is a super nest bx,,,

How much poop did you have to clean up on the astroturf?

When you say it is a 3 inch slope, that is for 16 inches of run, right? Only clarifying that because I though when a slope number is normally given that it is usually relative to 12 inches, but that is probably my incorrect understanding. Which I think means that the opening where the eggs roll through would be a 3inch high opening? great video btw. agree that the music should be ditched, but it was still pretty clear. thanks.

☝️ in thick is great. Poop sits on top. C if t a couple and rotate. Always clean

Hi just wanted to leave a comment to say I watched your video copied your design and made my own roll away nest box. Thanks for uploading a great video. From Nottingham, England 🇬🇧

Great box. Just Google cedar/chicken .... I think it's a respiratory issue, from what I've read. Just be mindful of that, maybe? Thank you!

I'm doing this tomorrow. Thank you for your great idea. I hope we get more eggs. Without them being eaten before we get to them.

astro turf is not good for this. Learned this from experience. The weave is not strong enough. The chickens pulled the "grass" out.Good thing none of them got sick from it. And this was high quality stuff. It was scraps from a batting cage facility or whatever they call it.

Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently live through a drought and heat. Thanks for sharing your creation.

Your garden looks great. I haven't even finished planting mine, but it's coming along.

Great chat! Now, 11 months later, what would you add, if anything? I really like this video!

MUITO BOM VOU FAZER IGUAL SOU DO BRASIL SÃO PAULO

How are you liking this? I made one but a few of my older hens wont use it, preferring to have oine shavings to lay in. Have you had any similar experience?

Hey dude, man I just can’t help but notice man you sure are a handsome dude, hey when are you gonna go fishing with me?

I like the design! will be building some boxes here this week it looks like!

This has given me the starting point I needed to design my own boxes. Thank you! Do you feel like the egg landing tray is far enough away that a broody hen won't break eggs trying to get them back under herself?

Excelente, muchas gracias. Pondré en práctica, tu ponedero. Se ve muy bien

Thank you for video i will try to make this for sure. But what do you think to make collectors in front bcs the hen usually look into dark opposite of collector and by my opinion it should be safer for eggs...

Howdy neighbor! We're up in Walker county now, but just moved from Montgomery county about a year and half ago. :) Looks like a great set up there! Keep up the good work.

The music in the nest box video was just fine! The natural sounds are fine too, anything is better than silence during like the parts where you’re putting stuff together

Eggcellent! Anything you'd do differently?

My last nestbox was similar. But I sloped the top at 45 degrees to keep the birds from hanging out on top

Nice update, I was wondering about the nest boxes so I went looking to see if you did an update.

how did it end up working for you?

Great job on these boxes! They look great and functional design
