Love this nesting box. Has all the features I was looking for.

Be patient putting these together. I put together 4 units. The first one took a half hour and was frustrating, after trial and ever the key is to only tighten the screws slightly. This allows you the Iglesias room to put it together...sanely. The other 3 only took 15 minutes each. Of course after I put them together did I find the separate, better instructions in a different box with the packing label.

Really like these boxes. Well made galvanized metal should last a lifetime. I like the roll away feature so the eggs stay cleaner and don't get broken. My hens like the curtains which give them privacy. A little pricey so I buy one at a time.

I bought (4) of these, great product. Assembly was fairly easy and didn't take long. My chickens started laying in them the first day after I removed the old nesting boxes. I put a little straw in the nest the first day and then started cleaning a little out daily for a few days until there was no straw at all in the nests. I set the elevation on the center adjustment as recommended, eggs roll away clean and safely out of sight. I haven't installed the privacy curtains yet but plan to a day or so. These boxes have fixed my problem with an unidentified egg eater and has increased cleanliness of the eggs. My only regret is that I didn't purchase these years ago.

Received the chicken nest quickly. Easy to put together. Top of the line nest and are working out great. Would highly recommend these to anyone. Great company.
