  • For treats, use any of the Nesty Basics range. Eg, Sunflower seeds, Linseeds and Maize.
  • For soft egg shells, use the Nesty Calci Boost or Shellgrit.
  • For a complete and balanced feed with all essential vitamins & minerals, use Nesty Complete.
  • For a boost that you mix into existing standard feeds, use Nesty Superfoods.
  • For chickens that are wasting feed or need some boredom busting, use Nesty Nutrient Block.
  • For chickens with soft egg shells that won’t willingly eat Shellgrit, use Nesty Calci Boost (as you mix this in their existing feed).

Nesty Nutrients expected shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture or 6 months from date of opening. This can vary between products. Always read the product label and purchase accordingly. We advise not to excessively stock up on products to avoid reaching the expiration dates.

Accessories: $9.95

Do you provide Authority To Leave?

When placing an order, you have the choice to select "authority to leave" during the checkout process (ATL). In this case, without a signature being required, our shipping carriers will leave the delivery at your unattended location. It's important to understand that this delivery method carries no guarantee against loss or damage, and neither NestyBoxes nor the shipping companies we work with cannot be held responsible for it.


It might not always be possible for the shipping carrier to leave a package with ATL instructions, though. This might happen, for example, if the delivery address is inside a secure building or complex and appropriate access to the address is not possible, or if there are insufficient instructions regarding where to leave the delivery.

Do you ship to PO Boxes?

We can only ship Small Accessories to PO Boxes, while larger items like Next Boxes and other accessories must be shipped to residential or commercial addresses due to their size. Unfortunately, we’re unable to accommodate custom delivery requests such as scheduling specific delivery dates and times, leaving the package in a particular location, or calling in advance or on arrival. These requests can only be accommodated if a customer organises freight collection and services themselves.

Assembly and care of products

Can I purchase already assembled nest boxes?
Assembled nest boxes can be purchased at our stockists or at the local field days or shows we attend. Unfortunately, we do not offer ready assembled boxes online as the shipping would be very unreasonable! If you need some help assembling your box, check out our videos, talk to us on live chat or read the instruction manual included.
How should I store Nesty Nutrient products?
Nesty Nutrients products should be stored in a cool, dry place, and away from direct sunlight. The shelf life of our nutrient products are between 6 and 12 months, depending on the product purchased.
How regularly should I change the nest box bedding?
Nesty advises changing the bedding whenever it is dirty, wet, or you have incurred a parasite infestation. As a general rule of thumb, change the bedding every month to keep a happy and healthy hen house. The bedding material can be straw, hay, or woodshavings. This can be purchased on the Nesty website. Regular turnover with fresh bedding minimises the risk of mites and lice harboring in the nest box.
