I have eggs in a few of mine but they seem to not get started all at once so you might be ok with getting them out late. Good luck and good work!

I know they like the house facing south and they don't like to be crowded. On my doors I drill a 3/16" hole from the side thru into the door and put a couple of small nails to hold it closed, makes it easier to open. I also leave a 3/4" gap at the top of the sides for ventilation and put a wider top on it to keep it dry. on the ventilation, I drill 1/4 inch holes along the top.. just how i've always done it. the doors are held with a screw on the bottom to open. the sides are drilled and only tight to the door to allow it to swivel. the bottom that holds the door shut can be unscrewed with your fingers. I drilled it out with a drill bit and made it to where it barely holds. facing south... I did not realize that. I will change them around to the south..

Old vehicle tags make great tops!! We have refurbished several through the years with a tag top!!
Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

I have a ton of bluebirds at my place. Only problem is that they love to look at themselves in my vehicle mirrors. Looks like I have spit marshmallow cream all over my doors and I wash it off about every 2-3 days.
