Nest Eggs (aka Fake Eggs)
Place fake eggs in some of the nesting boxes to give your hens a hint that this is the place to lay their eggs. Don’t forget to mark your fake eggs so they don’t end up mixed in with the real eggs you collect.

We recommend mounting your nest box roughly 30” off your coop floor.

You can definitely stack your nesting boxes! This practice has been successfully adopted by numerous customers without any problems. Nonetheless, for operations involving 1,000 hens or more, there have been observations where the birds tend to prefer laying in either the top or bottom nesting boxes, potentially leading to overcrowding in one of the nests. However, for smaller flocks, this shouldn't pose any issues.

Cleaning your nesting trays is easy with the removable tray system. Lift the basket top slightly to release the catch and remove the trays.

Once removed, hose the trays down. If the debris has tough to remove, soak the tray for an hour and then hose down the tray.

We recommend the following capacity for each nesting box option:

• 2 Compartment Classic - Up to 15 Hens
• 2 Compartment Compact - Up to 15 Hens
• 2 Compartment Reverse - Up to 15 Hens
• 3 Compartment Classic - Up to 20 Hens
• 3 Compartment Compact - Up to 20 Hens
• 3 Compartment Reverse - Up to 20 Hens
• 4 Compartment Deluxe - Up to 30 Hens

Generally, 4 small to medium sized hens will use 1 compartment comfortably. Depending on your flock's breeds, you may need to adjust to offer more nesting boxes to allow for 3 hens per compartment or to 5 hens per compartment work well for smaller breeds.
