If you have a backyard flock and you want a nest box that can work for all your adies, this is for you. It does require some carpentry skills but we love this nest. Several hens can go into the dark nest, lay their eggs and the eggs roll out of their reach for collection. We have had backyard egg producers to come to us saying they built these for their chicken houses they pull around with a tractor and that they love that the eggs are clean and safe.
Pros:
Cleaner Eggs
Broody hens don't get the chance to sit on the eggs at all
Eggs cool quickly
Multiple hens can lay at one time
Slope prevents roosting
Cons:
Too big for small coops as it was designed for walk in coops
