External Nest Boxes - flip DOWN door (stays open) not a roof that LIFTS up that you have to hold open......make hinged door flush with floor of nest box for "sweep out" option. Also, I will put a tote box with back & front hole cut out in each nest box....for egg access from outside, & easy clean out. The whole nest box can be removed & washed. Also around the tote box, keep enough space so staw can be tucked around it in winter for insulation so the eggs don't freeze.

Size: Nest boxes should be big enough for your hen to stand in comfortably  Nesting material: dry wood shavings over straw.  Often a roost bar or step is added in front of the box to give the hen a place to jump to before entering the nest box. Also a "lip" is added to the front of the nesting box to keep the bedding material in place  make sure they aren't too high for the hens but not higher than the roosts or you'll have hens sleeping inside the nest boxes.
