Tips
Use Ceramic Nest Eggs to encourage hens to lay in a specific area and Wooden Nest Eggs to discourage egg eating.
Roll-out trays are designed for the ChickBox Nesting Box, which have an internal ridge that lifts the rear of the tray to guide the eggs outward. If using your own nesting box, prop up the back of the tray to facilitate rolling.

I ordered these egg catchers and a couple of days later they showed up. They fit much better than I expected and solved my problem of my chickens eating their own eggs. They worked so well that I ordered more. I haven’t lost a single egg yet. Great idea and a great product! Great price and great service, too.

I did have to adjust this slightly to get a good roll, but now I am pleased. I’m ordering 4 more for the rest of my boxes!

Very poor quality. Eggs will not roll down and has sharp edges on plastic. I would not buy again, nor would I recommend anyone else to buy it.

These are not deep enough to keep chickens from eating the eggs. Wish I would have saved my money. Ended up building my own.

I’ve had one of these trays for over a year, and because of “chicken math” I just bought a second one. When these are properly positioned, the eggs generally roll out into the covered box well. Eggs that are out of reach of the hens don’t get muddy footprints on them on wet days, and don’t get destroyed by egg eaters. (We have one of those and what a mess that is!)
They can be hard to get positioned correctly so that the eggs consistently roll into the covered section unless you build your box to fit the tray. I’ve used shavings under the front to raise it a bit.
I also wish they came with a little handle knob, because with the tray up against the coop wall, it can be hard to open. I added knobs to mine.
