Frequently Asked Questions About Poultry Nesting Boxes

Birds crave a private, secure location when they reproduce. Whether the bird is laying eggs for consumption or fertilized eggs that will become chicks, a nesting box is an ideal spot within a coop or pen. 

Is it easy to assemble a chicken nesting box?

The majority of nesting boxes come fully assembled and ready to use. If you have to put one together, it is a relatively simple project and can be accomplished by carefully following the manufacturer's instructions.

Nesting box pads and nesting box turf are great options for filling a nesting box with comfortable, safe materials. You can also opt for organic nesting box materials like straw, sawdust or wood shavings.
