Homestead Essentials nesting boxes are specifically designed to provide a private, safe and comfortable environment for your hens and chickens - promoting egg laying and egg collecting convenience while discouraging brooding behavior. Each individual compartment is sized to accommodate a medium to large sized hen and can host up to 5 different hens. Home, sweet home!
The nest box panels and roof are made from galvanized steel, providing a stable and reliable structure when assembled, and easily mounts to the side of any wall, barn, fence or coop allowing you customize your coop.
Nesting trays are made with PP Polypropylene plastic which won't rust, rot or corrode, and feature a ventilation filter grid to allow unwanted material to fall through. Our trays are both removable and washable, helping to keep the nest clean. Nesting box liners for chickens are not required or necessary.
Each tray is designed with a slight slope forward that allows eggs to gently roll away into the rollaway nest box collection tray. This feature helps keeps eggs clean and ready for easy collection. Tray collection lids, whether with or without an integrated perch not only protect eggs from feathers, dirt, chips, breaks and pecking they also provide a fast and easy way to gather eggs.
Rollout nesting boxes for chickens are a must-have for all poultry hobby farmers and backyard homesteaders looking to start or maintain their sustainable, ecological and homegrown farm.
