Innovative injection molded chicken nest box is draft free, but ventilated to keep the hens warm in winter and cool in summer.
- Interlocking system—lets multiple boxes connect securely using side locking tabs.
- Fold-up perch—keeps your hens comfortable by day and discourages broody behavior at night. Designed to fold neatly away, it also ensures droppings fall clear of the nesting area.
- Roll-out tray (optional)—for faster, cleaner egg collection. Eggs gently roll away after being laid, protecting them from pecking, and free from droppings. The built-in flap further safeguards against soiling—improving hygiene.
- Seamless injection-molded design—eliminates cracks and crevices where poultry mites can hide.

My girls got in the boxes right away. They knew what to do. Glad I got them.

These are fantastic!!! I had a hen who had started eating the eggs. I've used these for a week, and no eggs eaten! Although I do have one holdout who is bound and determined to lay her egg on the floor underneath these new nests. But 1 out of 11 isn't bad. Eggs stay clean, and WHOLE! :-) For me, this was easy to switch out, changing from milk crates. Needed no extra space. If you plan to have hens for a long time, definitely a good investment.

These trays work fabulous! Easy and fun project making brackets to retrofit them in our existing nesting boxes (it did however take more than a 4 degree slope). No big deal though, fixed that in a jiffy! It's my fault we had to purchase three of these fabulous trays. Klutzy me, dropped an egg at my feet and my sweet chickens turned into ravenous carnivores. We have not had a pecked or broken egg since we installed these trays in our nesting boxes..I fold 2 paper towels up in a 4" strip and lay in the end and bottom of each of the catch areas, Works perfect! Go ahead a make your purchase you will not be disappointed. They are made with sturdy, quality material. They will make their money back in no time. Eggs stay super clean as well!. You will not regret your purchase! Have a great day and enjoy those chickens!!
The day we placed our order, I started removing bedding out of nesting boxes. By day four the was hardly any bedding in the boxes. I set the very small amount of bedding aside. . Installed trays. After install I put that "very, very small" amount of bedding in the high end of the trays. The chickens were use to almost no bedding. the next day I removed it all... They had no problem with the transition.. There is nothing in the trays to hamper the egg from rolling into its proper place. I hope that helps . Have a great day !!! ;0)

Easy to put together and set up. For some reason we can't get our chickens to lay in them. We have 18 girls. We get an avg of 2 eggs a day in them. They are laying elsewhere. They are very nice but too small for some chickens.
