Making Hen Nests Out Of Used Plastic Containers

Bamboo or Rattan Baskets are the most commonly used laying nests for the hens.
There are problems, however, with using baskets as nests.
At night, some hens would roost on the rim of the baskets and leave the nests full of dung in the morning.
That was when somebody shared with me the idea of used plastic containers as nests.
I liked the result so now we are shifting to used plastic containers as laying nests.
At P100 each, it is more economical because it could be used for a long time.
