privacy covers are a piece of plastic that clip over the fronts this will stop the flytes from getting snapped like a traditional style widowhood box , but the hens will have there own section as they wouldnt be keen enough as would constantly know there cock was so close

Lood good Oldfellow, how deep are your loft sections as in most lofts it would cut the section depth down to much?

the section is 8 ft x 6 ft so theres a 4ft x 8ft floor space left more than enough and i can stretch my arm out from front wall and not quite touch  boxes but very managable

plenty of room, suprised they are only 2' deep though as that only gives the pair 12"x14" when shut in doesn't it where as a norm widowhood box would give them 14"x30"?
