Milk Crate Nesting Box

Turn plastic milk crates into nesting boxes for your chickens! Get as many plastic milk crates as needed, plus a few extra to give your chickens their choice of nest box. Cut out one of the small sides from each milk crate, leaving a small area at the bottom of that side to hold the hay and eggs in the box. Sand the cut edges of the plastic smooth. Stack the crates, covering the top crates with a piece of plywood or metal roofing, then put hay inside each of the boxes.
