HenGear Nesting Box
Easy-to-clean metal nesting boxes that meet the needs of medium or large flocks. Reversible roll-out tray can face forward, or out the back, protecting precious eggs from egg-eating hens.
Fall 2020 improvements (Large Box only):
- Hinged back allows outside the coop access to evict roosting hens from sleeping in (and soiling) the nest box at night.
- Extra wide nest pad reaches from laying area into the collection tray. Pad provides a smooth ride for eggs and eliminates unsightly dust lines from wire mesh.
- Includes a wood trainer egg to encourage pullets to lay within the box.

This is perfect! I had to modify it just a little to attach to the outside of my coop, but the simple design allowed for it. It works AMAZING! Fast delivery and excellent service! Recommend to every chicken owner.

Only a week, but chickens seem to like it. Watched video before and during assembly. Seems sturdy. I know Premier 1 poultry fences are great and I believe this will be the same.
