Professional rollaway design for cleaner eggs and happier hens!

This innovative nest box solves the common problems of dirty, cracked, or eaten eggs by gently rolling freshly laid eggs into a protected collection area. The adjustable perch encourages hens to roost outside the nesting zone, whilst the privacy curtain creates the dark, secure environment hens instinctively prefer for laying. Easy to install, simple to clean, and built to last.

So funktioniert es

The Rollaway System:

The ChickBox Lite's gentle sloping floor allows freshly laid eggs to roll backwards into a protected collection area. The clear flap covers this area, keeping eggs clean whilst allowing visual inspection without opening the box. This immediate egg removal solves multiple problems simultaneously.

Why Rollaway Boxes Are Superior:

Prevents Egg Eating: Once a hen discovers eggs are edible, the behaviour spreads rapidly through the flock. Rollaway boxes remove eggs before hens can peck them.

Keeps Eggs Cleaner: Eggs don't sit in nesting material where they can become soiled by droppings or muddy feet.

Reduces Breakage: Eggs roll gently into the protected area rather than being trampled or jostled by other hens.

Discourages Broodiness: Removing eggs immediately reduces the environmental cues that trigger broody behaviour.

The Perch Advantage:

The adjustable perch serves a crucial function - it gives hens somewhere to roost whilst deciding whether to enter the nest. This keeps them outside the nesting area until they're actually ready to lay, dramatically reducing the amount of droppings deposited inside the box.

Privacy Curtain Benefits:

Hens instinctively seek dark, enclosed spaces for laying. The privacy curtain creates this environment, reducing stress and encouraging consistent nest box use rather than floor laying or seeking hidden spots.

Wartung und Reinigung

Daily Maintenance:

• Collect eggs from rollaway tray
• Quick visual inspection of nesting material

Weekly Care:

• Remove and clean tray
• Check and refresh nesting material as needed
• Wipe down any soiled areas

Monatliche Tiefenreinigung:

• Remove perch and tray for thorough washing
• Replace soiled bedding completely
• Clean all plastic surfaces with warm soapy water

Cleaning Tips:

The removable components make maintenance simple. Wash plastic parts with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry before reassembling. The durable plastic construction withstands regular cleaning without degrading.

Best Bedding Materials:

Use materials that allow smooth egg rolling: wood shavings work well, as does straw cut into shorter lengths. Avoid long straw that can impede rolling, or materials that clump when damp like sawdust. Maintain 2-3cm depth - too much prevents rolling, too little makes eggs roll too quickly.
