I have just built the boxes and have not hung them yet. However I was really please at how easily they went together. I consider myself pretty handy but I feel anyone could build theses. Only issue I could see is if you lose any of the screws, nuts, or pins there are no extras. I would recommend using a magnetic tray hold the hardware will constructing.

First surprise... boxes were very heavy. Not tinny junk. High quality. Bought three... first two perfect. Third was packed poorly. Hinge pin for plastic lid, one of two was missing. Trip to Tractor Supply and two dollars later... all is fine. Still happy... all in a day's work.

My chickens will not use the 3 nest boxes. They prefer the old ones we have. ☹️

I've got numerous egg eaters in my flock, and these nest boxes were the last attempt to stop them before I culled the whole flock and started over. They work!!! My hens were laying eggs in them the same day they were mounted, no transition period needed. The eggs are all clean and unbroken. Hooray! Two boxes work well for a flock of 12-16.
