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.

We bought one knowing we’d have to make an “adjustment” to use in our nest boxes. Neutral on this so far, as they’re made for specific nest boxes, but I’m thinking they could still work with what we have. Know the details of what you have, size, type, position, etc…

Tried fake eggs. This tray has made it possible to get eggs and keep the egg-eaters at bay.

Great concept but it doesn’t fit all nesting boxes. My coop is a kit and it won’t fit.

We have been getting so many broken eggs prior to putting these trays in by naughty egg eaters. We are now getting many more eggs and hardly any broken.

Simply put, do not waste your money on these trays. I purchased the roll out egg trays to help protect and keep eggs clean in between collections. I could not be more disappointed in the performance. Our eggs are far dirtier than when when we used egg mats, and we have a 10% higher rate of breakage. These “roll out” trays simply don’t work as advertised. I would advise steering clear of them and saving your money. I wish I could attach photos of how disgusting our eggs are coming out of these trays.
