External Rollaway Nesting Box Single

The rollaway system functions optimally when there is no bedding in the nest box. Although adding bedding enhances comfort for the hens, it may impede the smooth rolling of eggs to the collection area. The rollaway design ensures that eggs roll safely away and prevent any potential damage by the hens. If you have concerns about not offering bedding for your hens, we suggest exploring the Nesty Insulated box, which offers convenient external egg collection and the option to add bedding.

The nest box is shipped in a flat-packed configuration to reduce shipping costs, but it comes with all the necessary hardware for straightforward assembly. Additionally, pre-cut holes for wall mounting are included to ensure a seamless assembly process for your nest box.

The nest box features a removable plastic basket insert for convenient cleaning and replacement. To clean it, simply wash with warm soapy water and ensure it's completely dry before reattaching it. If you have mounted the metal part of the nest box, it may be challenging to unscrew from your coop to clean. In such cases, we recommend spot cleaning with warm soapy water and rinsing as an alternative cleaning method. If you're seeking an even easier cleaning process, we recommend considering our Nesty Insulated box, which is entirely detachable and can be cleaned in just minutes.

Hens naturally seek out quiet and concealed spots to lay their eggs, so the nest box should be an attractive choice for them. However, if you're still experiencing difficulties, we suggest trying a couple of methods. First, consider adding some bedding inside the nest box or placing fake eggs to entice them. While adding bedding may temporarily disable the rollaway function, it can be helpful in the initial stages to encourage your hens to consistently use the nest box as their preferred laying location.

One nest box will suit up to five hens. If you have any more than five, we advise getting a second box to minimise damage to the eggs or hens laying in undesirable locations.
Double nest boxes cater for 10 chickens and triple, 15.

You have the option to wall-mount this nest box, as it includes pre-cut holes for straightforward installation. If you'd like a freestanding double-row setup, you can separately purchase optional legs. Feel free to get in touch with Nesty directly if this option aligns with your needs.
