Description
Give your hens a proper place to lay. The Ware Chicken Nesting Box is a handcrafted, natural-wood nesting box that drops right into your coop and puts an end to hunting for eggs in corners and under roosts. Built in the USA from durable OSB board, it arrives fully assembled — set it in place, add your bedding, and your flock has a sheltered, private spot that encourages consistent laying from day one. Hens instinctively seek out enclosed, shadowed spaces to lay, and this box delivers exactly that, which means cleaner eggs, fewer floor surprises, and less stress for the whole flock.
Key Features
- Fully assembled: No hardware, no tools, no build time — take it out of the box and put it straight to work in the coop.
- Durable OSB construction: Sturdy engineered wood panels stand up to daily flock traffic, scratching, and pecking season after season.
- Made for the Chick-N-Hutch: Sized to fit perfectly inside Ware's Chick-N-Hutch, so it slides in like a factory accessory.
- Works in most coops: The open-front design suits nearly any chicken house, hutch, or walk-in coop — not just Ware housing.
- Hen-friendly layout: High sloped sides and a low entry lip keep hens feeling secure while holding bedding and eggs inside.
- Made in the USA: Handcrafted domestically from natural wood materials.
How to Use
Place the nesting box in a quiet, dimly lit corner of your coop or hutch, away from feeders and high-traffic areas. Add two to three inches of clean bedding — pine shavings or straw both work well — and shape a shallow bowl in the center. Introduce it before your pullets start laying so they claim it early, and collect eggs daily to keep the habit strong. Refresh bedding weekly, and plan on one nesting spot for every three to four hens in your flock.
