HenGear Nesting Box Medium Rollout & Reversible Design
Free shipping!
Ships in 3 to 4 business days
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!
HenGear nest boxes were specifically designed to keep your eggs unbroken and clean of dirt and manure. Our slightly angled floors are covered with a removable grass-like cushion that allows a freshly laid egg to roll safely into a separate collection compartment, away from your hens.
Features
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.

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