You still have time. I think younger hens nest later.

I've noticed east facing boxes seem to be more inviting for nesting waterfowl. Read it somewhere and also notice east facing boxes in my aviary do better.

I try to put my bluebird and duck boxes facing east. Most weather is from southwest and north.

I like that! I've got some plastic barrels I've been wanting to make barn owl boxes out of and I think that bucket idea may work.
