Homestead Essentials classic style nesting boxes are designed to provide a private, safe, and comfortable environment for hens, promoting egg laying while discouraging brooding behavior. Each individual compartment accommodates medium size breeds and can host up to 5 hens. Made from galvanized steel, the box panels and roof offer durability, easily mounting to walls, barns, fences, or coops. The (PP) Polypropylene trays and lids are rust-proof, rot-proof, and feature a ventilation filter grid for cleanliness. Removable and washable trays help maintain a tidy nest. The classic style lid offers a handle for easy collection and doubles as a perch for resting. The basket trays have a slight forward slope to ensure eggs roll away from the nest into the collection chamber, protecting them from debris, feathers and damage. Liner use is unnecessary. Weatherproof galvanized steel construction; Private, safe and sheltered nesting; Removable trays; Classic lid style with handle; Well-vented side panels; Quick and easy to assemble; Includes an instruction sheet with guidance on assembly and installation

Q: Is the rollaway egg compartment reversible?

1 Answer
  • A: Hi! For the standard design the roll away is not easily reversible, however, we have an alternative option being our 2 compartment and 3 compartment reverse nesting boxes which are designed to have the eggs roll outside of the coop.

Seems like a good nesting box. Our chickens like it. One of the green flaps where the eggs roll has a difficult time staying on though.

Yes, I recommend this product.
