Wooden Chicken Nesting Box – Spacious Timber Layer Box, 30 x 30 x 44cm

A Spacious Timber Nesting Box for Laying Hens

This wooden chicken nesting box gives your hens a comfortable, private place to lay, which helps keep eggs clean, contained and easy to collect. Measuring 30 x 30 x 44cm, it offers plenty of room for a hen to settle in and lay, and its simple timber build suits backyard coops and small poultry setups. A good nesting box encourages hens to lay in one reliable spot rather than around the run, which makes egg collection far easier.

Roomy 30 x 30 x 44cm Interior

At 30cm high, 30cm wide and 44cm long, this box gives a laying hen generous space to turn around, settle and lay in comfort. The roomy footprint suits standard backyard breeds and gives hens the sense of a safe, enclosed hollow, which is exactly what encourages them to use the box consistently.

Open Front with a Raised Lip

The box has an open front with a raised board along the bottom edge. Hens step in over the lip to lay, and the raised edge helps keep eggs and bedding inside the box rather than spilling out. The open front also keeps the box airy and makes egg collection quick and simple, since you can reach straight in.

A Calm, Private Spot Encourages Laying

Hens lay best when they feel safe and undisturbed. Placed in a quiet, darker corner of the coop, this box gives them a peaceful space that lowers stress and encourages steady laying. Keeping eggs together in a dedicated box also means fewer eggs are broken, soiled or lost around the run.

How to Set It Up

Place the box in a quiet, sheltered, darker part of the coop, positioned lower than your hens' roosting perches so they sleep on the perches and keep the nest box clean. As a general guide, one nesting box suits around three to four laying hens. Line the base with a soft layer of bedding such as straw, hay or wood shavings, and top it up as needed. Collect eggs regularly, refresh the bedding, and remove any soiled material to keep the box hygienic and inviting.
