Sometimes the best thing you can do for a freshly laid egg is get it away from the chicken that laid it.
The Chicken Rollout Nest Box does exactly that. After your hen lays, the egg rolls gently away from the nesting area and into a protected collection section, helping keep it away from dirty feet, droppings, and curious beaks.
That means cleaner eggs, easier collection, and less opportunity for your hens to discover the deeply inconvenient hobby of egg pecking.
Choose the setup that works best for your coop:
Either way, the whole point is the same: hen lays egg, egg rolls to the protected collection area, you collect it before somebody decides to investigate it with her feet or beak.
Mount the nesting box securely according to the included instructions and make sure the rollout path remains clear so eggs can move freely into the collection area.
Don't pack the rollout surface with a bunch of loose bedding. Anything that interferes with the egg's path defeats the entire reason you bought a rollout nest in the first place.
Check the collection area regularly and remove eggs daily. When the box gets dirty, clean the plastic surfaces with mild soap and warm water, rinse, and allow everything to dry before putting it back into use.
Your hen's contribution to breakfast is laying the egg.
Everything she does to it after that is a liability.
