Absolutly love it!

My chickens love the nesting boxes. Great construction and easy to put togsther

Perfect.

Absolutely love this box. It took a day or so for my flock to adjust and I had to take all the bedding out of of coop so they wouldn't lay on the floor. I also took the red flaps off until they started laying in it. I think it scared them at first. But the eggs roll really nicely and I don't have to even wash my eggs anymore. It was definitely an investment. I got a medium and have 9 hens. It seems like a good size for them. I wouldn't want to go smaller.

Alot of the eggs crack.

Well built east to assemble

Well made, everything went together smoothly. Extra nuts and bolts were handy and appreciated.

TL;DR Version:
I does what it says it does. Installation was good. The bar however was to high for my big birds, made my own about 2 ins lower. Hens hated it took about a month to train them to the box.

Shipment:
Was quick and made it within the week. Box was damaged. One of the sides was bent badly. Took a star off as the box should be packaged better to prevent damage. I had to hammer out the damage to get it back so it would fit correctly.

Build:
Took about 30 minutes to put together. The instructions made it easy. However; as a note go to the end and read the instructions first. I had the roost bar in reverse and the instruction have you take it apart and reverse it. would have saved me 10 minutes if I knew that from the first.

Install:
Installing it to my coop was easy I already had a table to set this on and i used the ear holes to mount to the wall. as long as you have a level and something to screw in to the wall this step is easy.

Issues:
the retractable roost that blocks the nest. I had to remove it. it was to high up and my chickens just could not get the hang of trying to duck and step down into the box. For me my old setup already had a bar which was about 2 in lower then the boxes and this solved the problem for me. Since my chicken never sleep in the nest I have no need to block the boxes at night.

USE:
The first 2 weeks my chickens refused to use the new nest box. they insisted on laying in the corners as i use a deep bedding method in the winter with about 14 in of hay, leaves, grass etc. after that they refused to even lay in the hen house anymore and had moved to the horse barn to lay eggs in the manure. I was not amused.

Training:
As part of training these hens I removed ALL deep bedding back to hard dirt. they still laid in the corners. I blocked the corners. They UNBLOCKED the corners. :/ eventually I took empty water bottles and buried them in the spots they wanted to lay in. it was so uncomfortable they finally stopped. instead they just started laying all over the ground. Just ANYWHERE but the box. I tried using fake eggs in the box and tied them down. still failed. I tried allot of ideas

My final solution was to fill the box with deep bedding hay. Instantly they loved it and all started laying in the box. GREAT. except now the eggs do not roll out they stay in the hay I added. So for the next 3 weeks i took a hand full of hay out each day. i did this until there was none. I also confined them to the coop and run for 3 weeks. (No more horse barn for them.) until they had been trained completely to that box.

Finally they are about 85% laying in the box. i still have a few rebels but I am ok with that as long as they do not train the others. If that happens I guess we have chicken dinner. They finally all lay in the box without hay and the eggs roll out.

Modifications.
some modifications I made. for the area you collect eggs I have mine in reverse pointed outside so I do not have to go into the hen house to collect the eggs. because the bottom of the egg collection area is open i had to block that.

1: because in the winter the winds blow in and it freezes the eggs and the hens

2: It was letting in to much light through the day and my hens are late layers. once I blocked that and it was dark after that they really took to the box.

I just used cardboard so i can still easily clean out the nest boxes.

Overall:
Still worth it to have clean eggs, I will be upping my chickens another 20 this year and should have a great opportunity to make all the money back on this box in egg sales.

Note if you have older chicken it will be difficult to break them of their habits. I would recommend calling the best next box support. They had some really good suggestions (like the water bottles) others I came up with on my own. But they can help and where friendly.

For the company:
Would consider some ideas or maybe a separate product to help with the wind solution, light bleeding in, and maybe a FAQ on the sight for dealing with stubborn hens.consider some different packaging ideas as my box looked like it got ran over and many bend parts. I would maybe make it more clean in the instruction to read the end of you are going to build it for reverse.

Really liked the assembly and fit, having some trouble getting the birds to use it though, after removing the old boxes the chickens now lay on the floor, we have fake eggs as well, they just need more time, very good product

Hens were eating eggs in nest boxes but after two days with your box haven’t lost one. Wish I had known about you when I built the coop. Thx

Update: 7 hens almost 6 months old. After removing the curtains, they began laying inside the box. Still have a couple found on the floor. Called support and turns out, a comfy floor can make it inviting to lay eggs. Today 3 out of 4 were inside the Nestbox. Will chalk it up to new layers atm, hopefully the floor egg was just a new hen (first eggperience)

Works has advertised!

Very nice product. Delivered as expected. Assembly straight forward.

The door and opener work great together. I like that you can change there light settings for closing the door and add a timed delay after the light sensor is set to close the door because I've installed the opener inside a barn with less light than outside. The interface is also pretty intuitive.

We haven’t yet installed it yet

Do not buy this unit in Canada because shipping and duty and exchange rates will double the price. You are better off using paint trays because you are going to have to train your chickens to go into these boxes whereas the paint trays are open for the chickens to see. I would say these are a complete waste of money.

My chickens took to the box right away and it's super easy to clean.

This nesting box shipped quickly and was easy to assemble. So far I have most of my hens using the box correctly and my eggs are so so clean. I just need to get the rest of my hens to think its as amazing as I do and we will be on our way!

Great, we have added these to our roll-away boxes that we make ourselves and our hens had no issues with transition. Very easy to clean, reduced breakage and keeps eggs clean. We do use sand in our coop so at times the eggs can be dusty, but a dry wipe and they are good to go.

Love not worrying about the safety of our girls. Plus they are out before we are up and able to start their day without us opening their coop for them.
