Roll Out Tray with Flap for Nesting Boxes
Keep eggs clean and safe from pecking. Eggs roll down the tray into a protected, flap-covered chamber. Simply open the flap to collect the eggs.
For use with a ChickBox™ or as a do-it-yourself component for your own nesting box.

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.

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.

We bought 2 of the roll out trays with flap in hopes that it would help with some of our chickens to stop busting eggs. So far it has. We had to do some adjusting to our coop but simply added an extra board to secure it and so it wouldn’t move around when the hens were laying. They are very high quality plastic. And shipping was very quick.

So far this has been worthless. My hens avoid it. They prefer to lay eggs anywhere but in the nest box with this tray.
