I like the nest box, I have had it for over a week now, but the hens have not used it yet. The light is too bright in the nest box. I have spray painted it three times on the outside to darken it inside. Hopefully, they will use it now.

Easy to install, my chickens haven’t started to lay yet, hopefully they will like the nest. : )

It was too big. I am not able to use it. It would cost almost half of what it costs to purchase to send back so I guess I'm stuck with them.

I totally love these Laying Nests. The red color is beautiful and my hens love them also. Looks awesome in my coops.

I was thrilled to see a cheaper option for the roll out boxes. Easy to put together. Well made. Great option for clean, worry free hatching eggs while I’m at work or ones that like to peck. Love the fact you can hang it or set it on the ground. BUT, not one of my birds will use it. And I have A LOT of birds!! Around 200... I think.
