Your hens aren’t asking for scented candles—they’re asking for a clean, comfy spot to drop those eggs without drama. The Hen Den Essentials Kit™ gives you a mountable nest, cushy pads, simple egg-cleaning, and nutrition support so you can stop the daily egg hunt and start collecting like a pro.
Backyard keepers ready to standardize the nest, reduce cracked/dirty eggs, and give layers a simple routine that works in real coops (mud, feathers, opinions included).
Little Giant Nesting Box — Tough, wall-mountable plastic nest with venting and a perch; easy to clean and designed for real birds (not photo ops). Approx. 26.5″ L × 15.9″ W × 19.8″ H; mounts on 16″-on-center studs via slide-type screw holes.
Custom Nesting Herb Blend — A light aromatic sprinkle for fresh nest vibes. (For scent & enrichment—not a parasite treatment.)
Happy Hen Nesting Pads — Excelsior pads cushion eggs, help keep boxes clean, and reduce breakage; sized to fit most nests.
Manna Pro Egg Cleanser (16 oz) — Enzyme-based wash for the eggs that truly need it. Mix 2 capfuls per 1 gal warm water, soak 10–15 min, gently wipe/brush, rinse & refrigerate washed eggs. (For hatching eggs: 3–5 min in warm solution, rinse, incubate.) Dispose of solution after use.
Durvet Layer Boost w/ Omega-3 — Water-soluble supplement with vitamins, electrolytes, enzymes, omega-3s, marigold & Vitamin D3 to support lay and yolk quality. 1 scoop (4 g) per gallon of drinking water; refresh daily. (Provides D3 & nutrients—pair with free-choice oyster shell for calcium.)
Wire Egg Basket — Ventilated, durable, and deeply satisfying for daily collection (and zero more pocket-egg incidents).
1) Mount & bed the nest
Mount the Little Giant box securely on studs; place in a quiet, dim area and below your lowest roost to discourage sleeping in nests. Add Happy Hen pads and a light herb sprinkle for freshness.
2) Collect & clean smart
Collect 2–3× daily to reduce cracks/soilage.
Dry-clean first (flick/brush). If needed, mix Manna Pro Egg Cleanser per label, soak 10–15 min, wipe, rinse, and refrigerate washed eggs. For hatching eggs, limit soak to 3–5 min. Dispose solution after use.
3) Support laying & yolks
Mix Durvet Layer Boost at 1 scoop (4 g) per gallon; refresh water daily. Use during stress, peak lay, or whenever birds need a nutritional nudge. Pair with free-choice oyster shell for calcium.
4) Carry & cure the chaos
Gather with the wire basket so eggs can air-dry and you can actually see what you’ve got. Store or gift like the organized keeper you are.
The herb blend is aromatic only—keep boxes clean and dry for mite control.
Durvet Layer Boost supplies vitamins/D3 & more; it’s not a calcium source. Offer oyster shell free-choice. Washed eggs lose the bloom; refrigerate them and eat first.
