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.

Most of our eggs roll down well, but we have 1 overachiever bird that lays eggs too big and they won't roll into compartment. It works well for most of the eggs and the girls don't seem to mind the change in nesting box with it in there.

These boxes are working great! We needed to make some revisions to the trays for sizing (the nesting boxes inside the chicken house measure 12 x 10). We actually put a brick in each nesting box so the trays would tilt forward. They fit like a glove! Now the eggs are protected from the culprits who were eating them!

Good quality material and wings fold up to fit in a milk crate of 12" ID square. They are not inclined to roll but understand the were designed for a specific commercial nest box. I’m okay with that, I’ll just incline the crates a bit… don’t think hens will mind the lack of nesting material as they kickout the chips anyway… Broody’s can use the other boxes. Thank you for a quality product!

Was close to turning my 5 chickens into chicken soup due to all of them being egg breakers. First day I put this in my nesting box I got 3, and the day after that I got 4! Winning!

Excellent well made product, prompt delivery, but would probably fit smaller hens. Mine struggled with these. Theory is sound, but seemed very unstable and slippery for my hens.
