Milk carton nest box

plastic milk carton was easy to attach to the wall with several dry

Installing it near a hole
makes egg access easy without entering the coop.
What you don't see is a roost
at the half way point to make getting up there easier for the girls.

No wind in our holler
We don't get wind back here but once or twice a year. That's probably why our chickens do so well in tractors year round.
