I don’t usually do reviews but I was so impressed by this whole experience that I’m going to.
I found the Nest-o-Matic at a different place but found it slightly cheaper at Premier 1. I called to check availability and spoke to an actual person. He answered all my questions with the answers I wanted. I ordered 2 for my 10 hens and assembled 1 right away. The assembly instructions were clear, hardware was correct, it seems very sturdy, and the hens took to it right away. Best of all, no more busted, half-eaten eggs! I am noticing a line to get in so will probably set up the other one too. I ordered 2 nest pads for replacement but the original is holding up well so far, in spite of their scratching around on it!

These are good durable nesting boxes but my chickens just don’t like them. They were not the easiest to put together but were easy to hang. I don’t fault the product but since they were a bit pricey as mere decorations I can’t give them 5 stars. Maybe as my flock continues to grow I’ll finally have a hen that will use it.

Chicken won’t lay eggs in box. Hopefully they will.
Also consider using nest eggs to persuade hens to lay eggs in a nesting box (and not elsewhere) or to discourage egg eating by hens—a bad habit that can spread rapidly and is hard to stop.

This nest box is fantastic! My hens love it and now I have clean eggs. Great people to work with and outstanding communication. I look forward to doing business with Premier 1 again.

Durable and easy to clean. I don’t have the nest box, I have another type and these fit fine but could even be trimmed to fit.
