|
Best Choice Nesty's Single Nesting Box | Basic Nesting Box |
|---|---|---|
| Laying Capacity | Suits 3 to 5 hens, eggs clear instantly | Fills up, eggs pile and break |
| Mounting | External mount, frees up coop space | Takes up space inside the coop |
| Cleaning | Removable covered tray | Fixed base |
| Parasite Resistance | Smooth zinc-plated steel, no cracks to harbour red mite | Timber cracks shelter mites and lice |
| Ventilation | Vented trays | Often solid base |
| Durability | Rust-resistant zinc-plated steel | Can warp or rot |
| Egg-Eating | Rolled out of reach | Exposed to pecking |
| Egg Protection | Rollaway floor into covered tray | Eggs sit in nest |

FAQs
Your Questions,Answered
How does the rollaway feature work?
The nesting floor is slightly angled, allowing freshly laid eggs to gently roll away into a protected compartment, keeping them clean and safe from pecking or damage.
Will my chickens use a rollaway nesting box?
Yes. Most hens adapt quickly, especially if the box is placed in a quiet, shaded area. Adding nesting material helps encourage natural laying behaviour.
Does it help prevent egg eating?
Yes. Eggs roll out of reach immediately after laying, significantly reducing the risk of hens pecking or eating them.
How many chickens can one box support?
Typically, one nesting box suits 3–5 hens, as chickens naturally share nesting spaces and often rotate usage.
How do you collect the eggs?
Eggs are stored in a rear or covered compartment, making collection quick and easy without disturbing your hens.
What are the benefits of internal vs external nesting boxes?
External boxes mount to the outside of your coop, freeing up space inside and letting you collect eggs from outside without disturbing your hens. Internal boxes mount inside the coop with front lift-lid collection, ideal if you have wall space inside to spare. Both use the same rollaway design to keep eggs clean and out of reach of pecking.
Do I need a single, double or triple nesting box?
As a guide, each nesting space suits 3 to 5 hens. Choose a single for a small flock, a double for a growing flock, or a triple for a larger flock. Hens naturally share and rotate nesting spaces, so you do not need one box per bird.

We used to use plastic containers for nest boxes, this is far easier to access the eggs and they're clean!
Highly Recommend.
