As more people turn to raising chickens for eggs or meat, most of them want to save money in keeping with their desire for self sustaining living. Nesting boxes can be quite pricey if you buy them online ready made. Do what I do and make your own. They are inexpensive and chicken approved. To get the best eggs, you will need to provide your hens with proper nesting boxes.

The dimensions of a chicken nest don’t have to be exact, but a good rule of thumb is that it’s better for a nest to be too large than too small. Check out Homestead & Survival’s list of awesome nesting boxes that are chicken approved!
