Nest Box Features

Reversible Design

Our nest boxes offer the ability to mount egg collection trays on either the front or rear side of the nest.

Hinged Back

Access nest box from outside your coop: collect eggs, exclude hens, lift roost bar, and latch optional AutoRoost.

Extended Pad - (NXT V5.2)

All HenGear nest boxes include a brown pad that extends fully into the collecting area, ensuring eggs are kept safe and clean, compared to wire floor designs.

Roost Bar

To keep your nest pad clean, the roost bar can be raised to exclude hens from the box after the eggs have been collected, thus preventing manure build-up from hens sleeping in the box overnight.

Tray Curtain

Our exclusive black curtain provides a barrier between the collection tray and nesting area, safeguarding eggs from determined egg-eating hens.

Privacy Curtain

Our red privacy curtain features five-inch wide cutouts, making entry into the nest simpler compared to older V-cut designs. Additionally, its red color attracts hens, as chickens are drawn to this hue.

Customer photo review of Small (24") Reversible Roll-out Nest Box (Up to 20 Hens)

Just finished the Chicken Hotel and I am very happy with the upcoming of the project. The Nest is fantastic and can’t wait to get the chickens now. I might build a second one after all. Very Happy with this Nest.

Customer video review of Small (24") Reversible Roll-out Nest Box (Up to 20 Hens)

Looks good so far. Went together well and is well built. I made some modifications to fit my coop, but that was going a little above to seal things a little better for the cold Ohio winters. Had one hen lay an egg in the box the second day and hopefully the rest will start to follow soon.

I could not have assembled without your video! The video was made well and I understood every detail. The box has only been in the coop 2 days so waiting for them to try it out. I still have a few other nesting boxes to remove then I'm hoping they will use it.

Great design and all six hens like it. I'm in training mode so the curtains are up. Think in another day or so I'll put them down, maybe one at a time. Best nest box purchase I've ever made.

The nest box was a breeze to install in our new custom coop. Can’t wait until the girls are old enough to start using it!

Rollout nest box is good quality with very good directions to put it together. Our flock adapted to it well in just a few days. Works very well. We set it up with the rear access and without the front perch as it seemed to be in the way in our setup.

Brice - the You Tube video was a great help during the assembly process. I spent a rainy day building the nesting box with the video. Still in construction stage of the coop - put the roof on today. Chickens are not arriving until mid May.

Customer photo review of Small (24") Reversible Roll-out Nest Box (Up to 20 Hens)

We love the HenGear nest box soooo much! Thank you for sharing your products and I’m so glad I found your product. Our eggs are the best stated from our friends as they are considered the cleanest eggs. We love the roll away as it is the best! We have 7 total backyard chickens and happy that we purchased the small nest box because our 6 chickens have used them consistently and our chickens are spoiled by it. They love their nest box. Thanks again!♥️🥰👏

All in all it's working very well. But the instructions have some room for improvements. That being said the hens have adapted to there new accommodations very well. Except for a young hen that has recently starting to lay. But she is getting better at it. Most of all. I'm not finding any more half eaten eggs. 👍

This is a wonderfully designed and manufactured product! I found it easy and rewarding to assemble (super fun, actually!) Following the tips for getting the hens used to it, I started with it down low, sitting in a couple of bricks, and taped the red “privacy curtains” up so they could see in and notice the fake egg. They took to it right away! I got a bit ahead of myself and let the curtains back down a bit too soon (maybe within the week?), and discovered I’d rushed things: some of the hens started laying out in the yard. Put the fake egg back in and taped the curtains up and they all happily resumed laying in the box. I am over the moon to have the eggs protected from my would-be egg-eating hen! Now I don’t have to worry about whether she’ll teach the others her bad behavior - this has stopped her. And even in wet weather, all the eggs are clean and dry - no poopy little chicken feet walk on them once they’ve rolled down into the bunker!

We built a coop few years ago and bought the bigger nest boxes and our chickens absolutely love them! When we started our breeding program I knew i wanted these nest boxes in the coops. Our chickens love them, they are easy to clean and sanitize. Thank you for making a great product. Sunshine Acres Farm

I love this box! Crows can't steal the eggs any more and the hens have no complains using it. I’ll probably buy another one as my flock expands. Thank you!

Customer video review of Small (24") Reversible Rollout Nest Box (Up to 20 Hens)

Assembly was straightforward. The website videos helped on a few questions. Hens adjusted very quickly. I really like the rear access for gathering eggs. Unfortunately they still are sleeping in the nest.

Small (24") Reversible Rollout Nest Box (Up to 20 Hens)

Store owner replied: Thanks so much for your review! We recommend closing the roost bar before it gets dark to prevent the hens from sleeping in the Nest Box. If we can be of any help, please email us at support@hengear.com.

The thing I like most is clean eggs every day! The second best thing is the hens just use it without any issues.

All things were going well until I moved it up off the ground, then a hen layed on the ground underneath the nest box. I put it back onto the floor

Small (24") Reversible Rollout Nest Box (Up to 20 Hens)

Store owner replied: Thanks so much for your review and feedback. If the hens are laying underneath the Nest Box, it can be helpful to raise the height of the Nest Box, or block off the area underneath the Nest Box so the hens can't access it. If we can be of any assistance, please email us at support@hengear.com.

Excellent roll away nest box! I have purchased multiple larger boxes and they work flawlessly. The new box appears to have a few upgrades and should work even better!

Easy to put together. I have a flock of pullets, so I have had some difficulty getting them to lay their eggs in the nesting box. For the most part, all I did was put their eggs in the nesting box when they would deposit them on the ground, after a few days of that, 95% of the eggs were in the box. I still have 2 Americana pullets that aren't laying yet, the one that is laying still hasn't made it into the nesting box yet - when she lays an egg.

Store owner replied: Thanks very much for sharing your experience. We're glad that your hens adjusted to the Nest Box quickly after placing the eggs in the Nest Box for a couple days. We really appreciate the feedback!

This is a great nest box! I still have hens that break eggs because they figured out they can fit their head into where the eggs roll into so thats been fun haha! Still have less breakage using this though. At least they cant sit on the eggs anymore. It took my flock a few months to adjust and i still have two hens that refuse to use it and lay in the old spot. Haha!

Customer video review of Small (24") Reversible Rollout Nest Box (Up to 20 Hens)

I chose this company to purchase from for a number of reasons- first a family owned and operated company with products made in the USA. Secondly, the reviews are fantastic. One of my ladies had developed an egg pecking habit and when I moved them to the new coop, I did not want to worry about the eggs getting pecked and ruined. Instructions were easy and assembly seamless- thank you!

If you can't install this nest boxes, don't bother with homesteading!!! Ok, since I have your attention. Yes, it is everything as advertised. I installed 3 of them. They were quick to ship, came undamaged. The instructions are spot on. Everything you could expect from Hen Gear!!

This is my second HenGear Nest Box. I truly love these boxes! The eggs are clean and there is no more egg eating. Win win! I have a flock of middle-aged hens. Converting older hens over to these new boxes has been a process. To make all my stubborn hens happy I reluctantly changed the HenGear nest pad to a DIY pad made with PetSafe turf from Home Depot. Yup, I am a softy. 🙄 It’s worth the effort! If you are on the fence just give these a try. I believe you will love them as much as I do.

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your continued support and for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear your hens are enjoying their HenGear Nest Boxes. Clean eggs and no egg eating really are a win-win. We appreciate your trust in us and your thoughtful feedback.

Customer video review of Small (24") Reversible Rollout Nest Box (Up to 20 Hens)

Small (24”) Reversible Rollout Nest Box (Up to 20 Hens) This nesting box has been a game changer. All 10 of our chickens started using it the same day we installed it. Clean eggs are a huge plus, and collecting them has never been easier. It’s also worth mentioning that our Ameraucana snapped out of her broody phase after we installed this. She finally started laying again after 4 to 5 months. I highly recommend.
