The HenGear medium nest box accommodates flocks of up to 32 hens, fitting six hens at a time for a cooperative, stress-free laying environment. Ideal for busy coops, it promotes natural nesting behavior and ensures a cozy space for your hens. A practical solution for comfort and productivity!

 

Reversible Design

Our nest boxes offer the ability to mount egg collection trays on either the front or rear side of the nest.

 

Hinged Back

Access nest box from outside your coop: collect eggs, exclude hens, lift roost bar, and latch optional AutoRoost.

 

Extended Pad - (NXT V5.2)

All HenGear nest boxes include a brown pad that extends fully into the collecting area, ensuring eggs are kept safe and clean, compared to wire floor designs.

 

Roost Bar

To keep your nest pad clean, the roost bar can be raised to exclude hens from the box after the eggs have been collected, thus preventing manure build-up from hens sleeping in the box overnight.

 

Tray Curtain

Our exclusive black curtain provides a barrier between the collection tray and nesting area, safeguarding eggs from determined egg-eating hens.


Privacy Curtain

Our red privacy curtain features five-inch wide cutouts, making entry into the nest simpler compared to older V-cut designs. Additionally, its red color attracts hens, as chickens are drawn to this hue.

1) How do I train my hens to use the new nest box?

Chickens are intelligent creatures and typically adapt quickly to new nest boxes. However, if your hens have formed a strong attachment to their current nesting box, they may need extra help transitioning. Use the following temporary tips to make the switch as smooth and calming as possible:

  • Remove the old nesting box to encourage the use of the new one.
  • Place the new nest box on the coop floor in the darkest part of the coop.
  • Fill the nest box with plenty of straw or wood shavings to create a comfortable environment.
  • Keep the red curtains open by using magnets or tape to make the new box more inviting.
  • Close off the egg collection tray so eggs stay in the nesting area for now.
  • Place fake or real eggs in the nest box after closing off the tray to encourage your hens.
  • Keep hens in the coop until they’ve laid their eggs in the morning to help them adjust.
  • If you see a hen trying to lay in the wrong spot, gently place her in the new nest box and raise the roost bar until she’s done.
  • Add extra lighting to the darker areas of the coop, as hens naturally prefer laying in shaded spots.
  • If eggs are found outside the nest, move them to the nest box immediately to prevent other hens from copying this behavior.
  • Transfer bedding from the old nest box to the new one for a familiar scent and texture.
  • Block off areas where eggs shouldn’t be laid to avoid confusion.

Remember, these steps are only temporary. Once your hens adjust to their new nest box, you can phase out these tricks.

2) How do I keep my eggs from freezing?

Keep your eggs from freezing with an electric heat mat.

3) How do you clean the pads?
