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.

These roll out nest boxes have many advantages. They can be placed for inward or outward use. They can easily be removed for cleaning. We have a rear entry nesting box and I keep wooden eggs in the nesting area, so the rollout feature is not as important to us as the ease of access and convenience of cleaning. Love these!
Have just added a new coop for additional chicks this year. I am going to try nesting pads in these when they are laying age. The wooden eggs are used to discourage egg pecking. They are much lighter than real eggs so I think they will stay in the bowl portion allowing the real eggs to roll under the flap. Loose bedding tends to bunch up as the hens like to hollow out a space to lay the eggs in.
Great product!

These are exactly what I was looking for. We custom built our own coop, with nesting boxes accessible for collection from the outside. We had trouble with egg eaters, but any other roll away tray wouldn’t work inside our nesting boxes due to shape. We simply turned these sideways and it worked perfectly. You will have to affix it to something in order to get the “tilt” that causes the eggs to roll (we used a 2x4 cut to size). It was a small adjustment for our hens, but so far after a week, it’s working great and everyone seems happy!

We bought these trays to hopefully resolve our issue with hens breaking and eating eggs before we could pull them daily. So far, these seem to be a good solution! We still have a few birds that don’t want to lay in them, and we are working through those remaining issues. Overall it was a good purchase and looks to be what we needed.

Working as expected, relieved our problem of young hens egg eating.

I ordered these egg catchers and a couple of days later they showed up. They fit much better than I expected and solved my problem of my chickens eating their own eggs. They worked so well that I ordered more. I haven’t lost a single egg yet. Great idea and a great product! Great price and great service, too.
