Pecking Order Nest Box Pads for Chicken Nesting Boxes - 13 x 13 Pads Made in USA from Sustainably Sourced Aspen Excelsior (10 Pack)

These nesting pads have been a great addition to my chicken coop. They stay cleaner longer, are easy to replace when needed, and make maintaining the nesting boxes much easier. My chickens seem to love them, and I’m happy with how well they work.

These nest box pads are a million times easier and faster and cleaner to work with for lining nest boxes than hay. Easy fill, warmth adder, easy removal and quick change-out. What more could any chicken or chicken owner ask for? The boxes are 11 by 14 (standard prefab chicken kit-house size) and these fit well. These nesting box pads go up on the sides a bit, making it fit in a more nest-like way, while still leaving plenty of room. Our hen house has a line of three nest boxes and the hens normally lay in the outer two boxes. On the first trial, I placed a liner in each of the outer two nest boxes where they usually lay eggs. The next morning a couple hens were running around hollering and quite bothered by the "new things". Two eggs were layed that morning, both in the middle box where I didn't put a nest box pad. After gathering those eggs, I placed a third nest pad in the middle section, hoping the chickens wouldn't suddenly start laying elsewhere. Was not sure what to expect. Next day there were eggs. On the nest pads. They got over their irritation and confusion quite quickly and there were no problems on day two. The hens had fluffed the material up a bit. The eggs came out of the boxes beautiful, clean and free of cracks. There is some kind of light slick paper-liner that holds the material of the mat together and changing them out is a snap! (Not that it will need to be done frequently.) If you have a prefab chicken house and normally use hay on the floor of it these work really well for that, too. We had installed them right before a sudden super-cold snap. Thank goodness we had those in there for that. What peace of mind. We will definitely be using these from now on. Honestly, this one is a pretty big game changer for laying hens (and their owners). If you are considering these and have yet to try them, try them, you will love how much easier it makes that aspect of chicken care.

At first my chickens were scared of it but now they’re comfortable laying eggs there. It was very easy to install and I fluffed it up to make it fit in smaller areas that needed it. No odor, easy clean and very effective to what it’s for.

I recently purchased the Nest Box Pads for Chicken Nesting Boxes (13 x 13, 10 Pack) made from sustainably sourced aspen excelsior, and I’m very happy with them. The pads fit perfectly in my nesting boxes and were ready to use right out of the package—no trimming or adjusting needed. The quality is excellent. They’re thick, well-woven, and hold their shape much better than loose bedding. My hens took to them immediately, and I’ve noticed the eggs stay much cleaner and better protected. The natural aspen material also seems to provide great airflow and keeps the nesting area comfortable for the chicken

Nice I like them my chickens seem comfortable and I got ten of them for a pretty decent price. I have no complaints or problems and they even fit in my custom nesting boxes, which is a plus they are a lil firm one pad last for about a week with regular cleaning I try to keep them for a few days to get my moneys worth but I could see how it may get expensive if you have to change them every 3 to 5 days cause I myself personally try to keep the bacteria down as much as I can in my chicken Coop plus I have Five chickens so I go through a 10 pack in about a week and a half but sometimes I clean out the poop and flip them over. I try to take out the messy parts and only keep the good parts so yes keeping animals in itself is a little expensive but I try to do my best to stretch safely and get my moneys worth out of what I can meaning my food in my animals products the cleanup is easy, but I may try something a little softer as I am new to keep in chickens so I’m testing a lot of different products

These nest box pads worked really well for my chickens. They seem to like them, and they solved the problem I was having with the chickens constantly shoving straw out of the nesting boxes. The pads stay in place much better and keep the boxes cleaner and easier to manage. This was a simple fix, but it made a noticeable difference.

Chickens love laying on these. Even when leaving some boxes without the chickens will go to the boxes with the pads every time. Disposable. Easy to use. Material doesn't shred or fall apart.

Very happy with the nesting pads helps keep eggs cleaner& heans conformable. Lasts for months

Excellent
