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.

No complaints. No instructions on how to assemble, but it was pretty straightforward. Chickens don’t mind it and it works as it should. We did put the mat in and they have no issues using it. The eggs drop in the box as described. Only complaint is the perch, they jump onto it and it pops out of its holes quite easily. Other than that, I’d purchase this item again.

Good size for my Wyandottes, as long as you do not use the roll out tray. The tray takes up too much room. Perches are a bit awkward, but useable. Good if you do not have the skills to build your own.

Well made! Easy to put together. I like the clear plastic on the egg basket. Only one problem; the reason I purchased this is broody hens wanting eggs to sit on and one egg eater. I have observed the hens easily putting their head in the egg basket and pulling the eggs back into the nesting area. I am so disappointed, as I thought this would work. So depending on why you are purchasing, it is a good a nice nesting box, just not solving my problem.

I like the nest boxes. My hens not so much. They are laying in their old boxes still, but few are using the new boxes. Some are making a nest on the floor to lay their eggs. I got this nesting box because one is eating her eggs. So I hope all will eventually use it.

Worked perfectly. Snapped in snuggly.
