Information about Chicken Nesting Boxes:

Chicken nesting boxes are essential for providing hens with a secure and comfortable space to lay their eggs. Properly designed nesting boxes not only ensure the production of clean, unbroken eggs but also prevent undesirable behaviors such as egg-eating and laying in hidden areas.

Key Features of an Ideal Nesting Box:

• Privacy and Darkness: Hens prefer secluded, dimly lit areas for laying. Positioning nesting boxes in quiet, low-traffic sections of the coop or using nesting box curtains can enhance their appeal.

• Appropriate Size: Each nesting box should measure approximately 30 cm x 30 cm, providing a cozy space for one hen at a time. Oversized boxes may encourage multiple hens to use the same box simultaneously, leading to broken eggs.

• Comfortable Bedding: Using soft materials like straw or wood shavings cushions the eggs and allows hens to create a comfortable nest. Incorporating herbs such as lavender or lemon balm can further enhance the environment by repelling pests and providing a calming scent.

• Proper Placement: Install nesting boxes between 30 cm to 90 cm off the ground, ensuring easy access via ramps or ladders. This elevation helps keep the boxes clean and deters predators.
