Ideal height for nestboxes?

[Snadger]

The heading says it all!

Mine are only raised a couple of inches from the ground but would it be worth ading a second teir above them?

PS I've found a couple of golf balls on the field which I intend putting in the nestboxes for some inspiration. (Visions of hens with an enlarged adams apple!)

golfballs, ha!
I gave my cockatiel a hen's egg once (boiled) to play with, and she did her very best to try and sit on it ... it was like a toddler trying to climb onto a Spacehopper

we found wooden eggs old hardware stores have them- the non decorated kind - thought the spots and flowers would be too much. they work well coz they get warm!!
our big bird is now sitting on a ? fertile egg as she was determined to stay broody!!

Chooks lay on the ground so the nest boxed should be low down below the perches.
