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.
Listed below are recommended optional components or related items. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

You need to angle quite a bit to get the eggs to roll into catchment area, make sure you test at time of set up. Durability is good, design is okay. Our chickens have not used it in the 2 weeks we’ve had it soooo… maybe need to make it extra private, lol! All-in-all a great concept, durable product and I am very sure it is a great addition… my chickens are turd heads when it comes to laying.

I think the concept of these nest boxes are great however, the design could use some work. This does not prevent chickens from getting to the eggs, they just reach right through the opening and eat the eggs that way. I’ve had to modify it to prevent this from happening.

Works great!

Great service and better quality than the trays that came with my metal nesting boxes.

Not all eggs roll away. We have changed the angle, but are dealing with height of laying boxes. Also chickens can still reach the eggs. Hoping we can find a happy medium. This has been a cleaner alternative.
