Gary, I simply used plastic milk crates wired together and a 1 X 10 on top for nesting. About 1 nest for 4 -5 hens should be plenty. They like to lay in the same 2 or 3 boxes anyway. Secure it VERY well to the wall and put a 2 X 4 in the back side to hold it up. Hens can be heavy. Cut a round hole about 7 inches or so in the front top for the girls. This small hole will keep the hay in. Use hay or horse wood shavings on the floor and the smell is not bad.I change it twice a year.

Keep the roosts at least 3 feet off the ground to slow down any varmints that get inside.
