CLEAN EGGS
How nice it will be to collect poop free, clean eggs! The Eggtopia Nest Box has a rollaway design, so that just as soon as an egg is laid on the comfortable and hygienic nest pad, it rolls safely to a covered collection point, away from inquisitive beaks, sharp claws and poop, so that you can confidently collect fresh, clean eggs every day.
REVERSIBLE & PRACTICAL DESIGN
Perhaps you prefer to collect your eggs from within the hen house, where you can keep a check on what's going on inside, or perhaps you prefer to collect from outside the hen house, to save disturbing the hens, and to keep from entering a potentially muddy run. There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches, and fortunately being REVERSIBLE means you can choose what best suits you. The nest box itself can also be wall mounted, or freestanding meaning a trouble-free installation.
RED MITE RESISTANT
Using galvanised metal instead of wood, we have minimised the places red mites can hide, and made cleaning easy. The nest box can be wiped, or washed countless times with no ill effects, and it dries in minutes.
COMMUNITY STYLE
Eliminate the overcrowding that occurs in partitioned nest boxes. This can lead to stressed hens, lower productivity, broken eggs and even injury. Inside our nest box there are no partitions. Hens are sociable creatures after all, and often feel more comfortable laying eggs in a communal area. This style of box is also more space efficient than traditional designs, meaning more chickens can happily share the same nesting space. Our nest box will comfortably serve between 3 and 30 large chickens.
This style of nesting is a natural, tried and tested method, successfully used in commercial set ups.
BROODY HENS & OVERNIGHT NEST BOX ROOSTING
Broody hens are a problem. Unfortunately, a broody hen is a hen who has stopped laying, and more importantly, is sacrificing her health and wellbeing for the sake of her unhatched eggs, and for many that will mean they lose condition to the point of near starvation. Add additional stress such as red mites to the situation, and they can sadly perish whilst doing so.
They can also 'hog' nest boxes, leaving the remainder of the flock with less space to lay. Unless you are planning to hatch chicks under the hen, then the kindest thing for the chicken is to try and stop them continuing the broody behaviour.
The Eggtopia Nest Box has an innovative, wooden, lift up perch, which can be raised after the rest of your chickens have laid to prevent access to the nest box by any broody chickens. This feature, coupled with the rollaway egg design, means that your broody hen should find it much easier to return to her usual self.
This feature is also great for those chickens who love to roost in their nest box overnight, particularly if they are rescue hens, who have not had the 'privilege' of having a designated roosting area in their old lives. Unfortunately, this behaviour can be troublesome for the keeper, who will find large deposits of poop precisely where they will be collecting eggs later in the day, leading to very messy eggs and extra clear up time both of the eggs and the coop.
Our innovative lift up perch can be utilised to prevent access to the nest boxes overnight, and folded down in the morning to allow for laying. With consistent use, this behaviour can often be corrected within a week or two.
UK DESIGN & BUILD
Our nest box has been designed by us in the UK, and is built by our skilled metal fabricators whom are also based in the UK. We use quality materials, to create a solid, quality product that has been built to last.
Made from galvanised steel, it stands head and shoulders above other metal nest boxes, which are manufactured overseas, and made from flimsy, thin metal, often incorporating cheap, brittle, plastic parts.
FITTING
The Eggtopia nest box can be fitted seamlessly into our Shepherd Hut Hen House, or bought as a standalone product to be incorporated into your own hen house. Fitting is easy. It can be attached to the wall of the coop, or to the floor. If you prefer the external collection position, a cutout of 810 x 150mm is made, and the collection tray simply slides through the gap, while the nesting box remains inside the coop itself.
PEACE OF MIND
The Eggtopia nest box benefits from a 1 year warranty.
Ultimately the Eggtopia Nest box is simply the most intelligently designed nest box on the market, and should increase your chickens' wellbeing, as well as your egg production, and make life much easier (and cleaner) for you.
We recommend purchasing a spare nest pad and bumper bar set so that you can quickly replace the set that requires cleaning, and your hens can have uninterupted laying time.
