We had 50,000 laying hens in free run houses with nest boxes. The baskets were maybe 16" across and about that high, wire coated with some kind of yellow plastic. I don't know what happened to all those baskets-maybe my cousin buried them along with the chicken houses.

Personally I would go with a woven wood basket something like this:

All-Wood Construction
Capacity: 1/2 peck
Height: 6-1/2"
Diameter: 8-1/2"
Finish: Natural
Cost: $10.32 plus S&H

Whatever you do, don't look for cream pie recipes. Laffy Kat May 2017 #23

It's a simple confusion: instead of "chicken" and "egg" try (as one normally would) petronius May 2017 #18
