do we put any soft stuff in the nesting box?

Go to your local bird store or web page, tell them that you are looking for nesting material for what ever ki d of bird you are breeding. They will tell you what materials that particular bird needs to make her nest. There are a variety of bedding options, but tbey have to be selected by the breed you are breeding. I hope this was helpful.

I put several pieces of paper towel, which the adult birds promptly shredded.

Yes you need to place a dry piece of paper towel on top of the removable tray liner to avoid splayed feet in the newborn checks as well place wood shavings on top of paper towel for the mother to place her eggs on. Sue

I have the ones with soft fabrics inside stacked only two high so as not to crush the bottom boxes.

It wasn't hard to assemble. ...my husband and son did it in about an hour. They did put some roofing paper on the roof that I think has helped to extend the life of it. We have rabbits in it so I don't know about hens. The nesting box seems like it would fit 2 comfortably.

Agree with EA...definitely store them on your sheet pans...just make sure all is dry before nesting them with each with its individual Silpat in place. I have 4 pans and 4 Silpats...the only way to fly!

No, they don't nest; but they do fit nicely atop one another (they don't just rest above each other) so that at a glance they appear to be a single box. Mine are white with the grey soft lining and they look special - befitting their purpose.

No, not at all. I keep a patch of felt in the bottom to help protect the container, but the flatware stays nicer than it would rattling around in a drawer. Love the caddy!

No. I use an under-the-bed storage bin to keep it all together. It is low enough for my grandson to get into it, but the pieces are spread out so he can see them.

Yes - there are two openings for nest boxes on each top side. This is truely an incredible cage. I get so many oohs and ahhs from visitors.

Possibly a few. You can buy or make a nesting box, there is enough room inside. The yard isn't very big.

I don't know. I bought mine late in the nesting season. I am hoping to get owl's next season. The nesting box is very nice though. Worth a try.

Mine came in a thick cardboard box with styrofoam nesting pieces which was adequate. It came UPS so was not treated roughly. If I were to send it someway where I thought it would be handled roughly, I would add additional styrofoam.

This house is for nesting.... which I have had birds in it 1/2 hour after I put it up.... think I have had about 3 sets of babies in there so far..... Also have birds using it in the Winter here in Canada

No! But you will need several trays as only 1/3 of an egg will fit in each compartment. Also, I would suggest reducing the expected freshness date.

Yes, to make them soft. I put them in the refrigerator the night before. I love my Soyabella. So easy to make cold almond milk and clean the pot. Less or no straining compared to any other method or appliance.

no it's soft inside it makes it easier to stuff more in there instead of a hard shell were you are limited this holds a lot of stuff.

Bottom is soft. Aa a follow up now that I've used it for a few weeks - the netting on the side already tore - Also, just as an FYI - there are three sections in the organizer - however the fabric that separates the compartments is not connected to the base - so things might slide from one compartment to the next.

Try putting a golf ball or false egg in them, in the straw or woodchip nest you've made. Mine had no problem laying in the boxes.
