It's a reverse rollaway, so it would be mounted on the outside.

What do you guys think about this sort of nesting box? My concerns would be that the opening doesn't seem predator proof, which I can possibly figure out how to attach a latch, but mainly how it would do in the heat and the cold. Would the metal be uncomfortable for the girls? Anyone have...

Do these exist??

Thanks all! My fence is 4 feet but I have bird netting for another 3 and then covering the entire run. I really want the California whites! If only I can find a place for eggs!

How do you find their temperament? And would you have any idea where I would be able to find hatching eggs?

Whoops, misread, thought you had leghorns lol!

Still looking into California whites though. They seem much friendlier, less skittish. Although I can't seem to find any hatching eggs, which I'd prefer over live chicks.

Thanks! Where are you located? I'm in south jersey.

Hey all! So I'm looking into California Whites and they're described as winter hardy... Do they have the same issue as the Leghorns regarding frostbite on their combs? Or are they more like the rose combed? Thanks!

Thanks but that's a bit pricey for me...

Hey there! Anyone know where I can get guinea fowl eggs shipped?(nj) Thanks!

5 Ducks in Ocean County: Looking to give away 3 female + 1 male White Layers and one female Ancona. Almost 1 year old, free ranged, non aggressive.

Thank you! A lot to think about :)

Thanks for your detailed response! I would love to see some pictures of your coop when it's finished. The main reason for wanting an exterior nesting box was so I don't create an area underneath where the hens may choose to lay instead. I can block the area off, but then I lose precious space...

Got it:thumbsup
