Rollaway Egg Nesting Box for Chickens – 4 Compartment Design for Easy Collection

Description: Rollaway Egg Nesting Box with 4 Compartments – Features and Benefits Efficient Egg Collection When your hens lay their eggs, they roll down a PVC-coated heavy gauge ½” x ½” wire mesh floor directly to the front of the nesting box. The clever design allows manure droppings to fall through to a pull-out tray, simplifying the egg collection process. Simply lift the front cover, and the eggs will be neatly lined up for a clean, hassle-free collection without disturbing the nesting hens. Easy Manure Cleanout Cleaning out manure is effortless with this design. You can roll a wheelbarrow right up to the box and easily pull out the manure tray located just beneath the egg collection tray. This feature allows for quick disposal without the need to reach inside or disrupt your laying hens. Training Egg Included Each nesting box comes with a training egg to help your hens learn where to lay. The boxes require no nesting material, as it can inhibit the eggs from rolling forward, making them easy to clean and reducing the risk of infestations. If desired, you can initially use a small amount of nesting material and gradually reduce it as your chickens become accustomed to the setup. Durable and Long-Lasting Construction Unlike other products on the market with plastic lids or trays, these nesting boxes are constructed from heavy-duty 26- and 16-gauge galvanized metal. The 26-gauge metal is used for the main horizontal structure, while the 16-gauge metal provides added strength for the ends and cross supports. Many competing products utilize thinner metals, making these boxes a sturdier choice. Simple Installation These nesting boxes are designed for easy installation and provide numerous benefits over traditional wooden nesting boxes. They feature metal mounting cleats that screw into a solid wall, allowing the nesting box to hang securely. For maintenance, simply lift the complete box off the cleats for easy power washing and disinfection. Versatile Rear Collection Option For those who prefer rear collection, the nesting boxes can be hung backward on the outside of a wall over a cutout hole, allowing the open back to serve as the entry point for curtains. When opting for rear collection, a hinged door is supplied to cover one front side, along with roost brackets to relocate the roost bar. Selecting the rear collection option in the dropdown menu will display the additional costs for these components. Space-Saving Design Using the nesting boxes for rear collection takes up zero space inside the coop. The taller opening created by the slanted top accommodates larger breed birds comfortably. The roost bar can be lifted to discourage hens from entering when necessary, and when used as a rear collection, access to the roost bar is available from the outside through the hinged door. Capacity One nest hole can accommodate 5-6 hens, while four nests provide a generous supply of fresh eggs for a family. The nest holes measure 8” tall and 11¼” wide at the entrance, with an inside compartment of 14" tall, 12" wide, and 11½” deep. When utilized as a rear collection box, the 14" tall side serves as the front entry, making it ideal for larger breeds. Dimensions and Assembly The four-compartment nesting box measures 49” wide, 20” tall, and 17” deep. The boxes are shipped flat and require complete assembly using 3/16 and 1/4 bolts. On a difficulty scale of 1-10, assembly rates between 9-10. Those with mechanical skills and a visual understanding of the provided pictures and limited assembly drawings typically fare well. It’s advisable to have a second set of hands for holding longer parts during assembly. Due to sharp metal edges, gloves are recommended, and you will need a flat-head screwdriver, adjustable wrench, or wrenches for the nuts, along with a hammer for securing the cap on the lid hinge bar.
