Chicken Rollaway Egg Nesting Box 8 Compartment

Give your hens a cleaner, safer, and more efficient laying environment with our heavy-duty Amish-made eight-compartment rollaway egg nesting boxes—our best-selling design trusted by homesteaders, hobby farmers, and commercial poultry keepers nationwide. Handcrafted in a small Amish metal shop, these galvanized steel nest boxes are built to last and outperform flimsy plastic or thin-metal alternatives on the market.

Clean, Unbroken Eggs— Nearly Every Time

Each egg rolls gently onto a PVC-coated 1/2” x 1/2” heavy-gauge wire-mesh floor and forward into an upfront, protected tray. This rollaway design prevents hens from stepping on, soiling, or pecking at the eggs. Lift the front cover and collect a neat row of clean, undisturbed eggs.

Manure falls through the wire floor into a pull-out collection tray, eliminating the need for messy nesting mats and drastically improving coop hygiene.

Fast, Easy Manure Cleanout

These nest boxes are engineered for easy maintenance. Roll a wheelbarrow right up to the rear of the unit, slide out the manure trays, dump, and go—no reaching inside the coop or disturbing hens.

No Nesting Material Required

Each box includes a training egg. Because bedding prevents the rollaway function, these boxes are designed to operate bedding-free, helping them stay cleaner and reduce infestation risks. If desired, you may gradually reduce bedding as hens adapt.

Stronger Construction Than Competitors

• Heavy 26-gauge galvanized metal for the main structure

• Reinforced 16-gauge galvanized metal for ends and cross supports

• No plastic lids, pans, or cheap lightweight components
  This is the rugged, long-lasting build quality you expect from Amish craftsmanship.

Easy Installation & Sanitation

Metal mounting cleats securely fasten the nest box to any solid wall. Lift the entire unit off the cleats for power washing and disinfection—ideal for biosecurity and flock health.

Optional Rear Egg Collection (Space-Saving Design)

Select the rear-collection option to:

• Mount the boxes backward through a coop wall

• Create a taller 14" entry ideal for larger breeds

• Collect eggs from outside the coop

• Free up interior space

Rear-collection kits include a hinged access door and relocated roost-bar brackets.

The roost bar lifts to block entry when needed and is accessible from outside on rear-collection setups.

Sized for Maximum Productivity

One nesting hole serves 5–6 hens, making the eight-compartment model ideal for families or small flocks needing abundant fresh eggs.

Dimensions:

• Nest hole entrance: 8" tall x 11-1/4" wide

• Internal compartment: 14" tall x 12" wide x 11-1/2" deep

• Rear-collection entryway: 14" tall

• Overall unit: 48" wide x 35" tall x 17" deep

Assembly Notes

Nesting boxes ship flat, with bolts and hardware included. Assembly difficulty is rated 9–10 out of 10; mechanically inclined buyers do best. A second person helps handle longer panels.

Traditional Shipping Process

Shipped via an Amish UPS logbook system—no electronic tracking. We provide estimated ship dates and manual tracking assistance if needed. Hundreds of successful shipments confirm reliability.
