## Description

The perfect nesting box for your chickens. The roll-out design will help protect your eggs from damage and make the collection process quick and easy. The side panels, divider, and roof are made of galvanized steel for a stable and durable structure when assembled and the trays are made with plastic that won't corrode, rust, or rot. These nesting boxes are designed to last. Each compartment is well-sized for a comfortable fit for medium to large hens. The basket trays have ventilation holes to allow debris to fall through and can also be removed for easy cleaning. When the nesting box is mounted the trays slant forward slightly allowing the eggs to roll safely underneath the lid. This item uses the classic lid design that has a safe perch at the end of each lid to provide a safe resting space for your chickens. Each individual box measures 10.5 in. long x 15 in. wide x 20 in. high at the highest point. The complete set measures 21 in. long x 20.5 in. wide x 20 in. high. If you prefer to reduce the plastic, check out our Deluxe 4 Compartment Nesting Box with Metal Lid. Hardware Included **Includes an instruction sheet with guidance on assembly and installation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these require any padding or nesting material?  If so, what is used that will not prevent the egg from rolling?**
A: If they have a choice between one w a little straw and one without they prefer the one with.  After a habit is developed it doesn't matter much.  There is about a 2 in lip in front to retain the eggs.

**Q: We have lots of wild chickens running around. Is there a way to attract them to this?**
A: Yes you can meel worms.  Sprinkle on the ground in the areas you usually see them.  Then next day sprinkle closer and closer to the nesting boxes.  They are curious so the may only look at it for several days but eventually the will start resting then nesting in the boxes.  Keep sparkling a few meel worms to keep them coming.  Eventually they will stick around, even recognize you are bringing the treats and come running

**Q: What is the measurement between the back of the box and the perches when they are fully extended? TIA**
A: The nesting box measures 13" from the back of the box to front of the box frame and 21" total from the back of the box to the front of the perch/lid.

**Q: Is this leak/water proof? Does it need to be sheltered?**
A: The box it's self doesn't leak but it does have vents on the sides and the front and back are both open. So rain will get in. I recommend you putting this under some type of shelter ,yes.
