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.

I was so happy to find an economical solution to hens pecking and eating eggs!
Within 1 week the hens were laying eggs in the rollout tray. The eggs were clean and not cracked, and easy to gather.

Works as described. I elevated the rear after putting the nest material in it to make sure the eggs roll forward.

These roll out trays work great! My boxes were not 12" wide so I just easily folded up 1/2" that is scored on each side of the rollout tray. Then I had to cut down the front lip of my own wood nest box. Next I had to prop the back end of the roll out tray up 1-1/2". I blocked all my other nest boxes so the hens had to use these only and they have adapted just fine. The egg rolls nicely into the tray all clean and beautiful.

Excellent product and fast service. Was received in good shape.

Like others have said, this needs to be at quite an angle and if your chooks prefer a more private experience you will need to build a surround. Sometimes the eggs don’t roll away but it works well enough for our needs.
That being said, the plastic is very sturdy, the flap works nicely and the eggs come out cleaner than in our original setup.
