Large (48") Reversible Roll Out Chicken Nest Box (Up To 50 hens)
Pricy. I’ve installed it for a week and my chickens have not used it.
Also the price for the perch popper is a complete rip off. It only releases and does not have the capability to automatically retract and close the perch. You still have to do or manually. It’s mechanical piece that’s not even digital so the setting is not easy at all. This unit is a fail. It should be $20.

Please text, email, or call and we can help you through the process of getting your hens to use the box.
The PerchPopper is a rugged, custom-engineered, digital and mechanical device, designed to keep hens out of the nest box at night. The PerchPopper opens the nest box automatically at a configurable time and it is closed manually when collecting your eggs. Many customers find this beneficial and useful. A device that would close the nest box automatically is not nearly as useful to most of our customers and would add significant cost to the product.

I gave 4 large boxes but decided to try the new extended medium box. I love it! Gives the chickens an extra foot in the coop. Thanks for coming up with the new size

Medium (24") Reversible Roll Out Chicken Nest Box (Up To 20 hens)
Well made, hardware provided is high quality and no issues with putting it together. Stays clean, eggs roll away safely, hens made a fuss and then used it the very first day. No more hens eating eggs or dirty eggs. Sits just fine as a stand-alone unit. Wish I had bought this sooner honestly. Will it ever pay for itself? Probably not but it’s clean and sturdy and makes my life easier so what more can I ask.

This roll out box is a game changer. After messing around for two years trying many different box designs, I opted to spend the $ on two 48" boxes. Immediately the change was dramatic, clean eggs, birds stopped eating the eggs, collection of the eggs is much easier. I highly recommend these boxes and am ordering 2 more for additional coops we are building now!

I’m happy! Easy to set up! Chickens were just staring to lay so no transition issues. They stepped right in. The roll out works super well. A couple of the birds are laying dime size first eggs and they have a tendency not to roll but that’s not a design flaw on Best Nests part. I’m impressed!
Thanks for a great product!,

Bottom is all open to light so I have had to modify it so a piece of rubber can lay in the bottom of the box to block out the light. When I did that the chickens started laying in there once it got dark

Hi Chad,
The nest box's collection area is designed with a mesh floor to provide an area for debris (manure, dirt, straw, hay, etc) to fall through and exit the nest box and also many customers find the ventilation it provides beneficial in their setup.
The curtains and nest pad that surround the laying area should provide a dark enough area to entice the hens. It could be that in your case your hens needed some extra encouragement to use the nest box and the floor covering did the trick. It's possible now that your hen's have adjusted you can just simply remove the floor covering.

I like the nest box a lot. It was easy to put together. it was easy to install. I wanted to access the nest box from the outside. However, I ran into two problems. One is that the lid for the roll out was in the way of the plywood. Two there is a small gap underneath the rollout that small predators could get through. I would like to see something that address these two issues.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your feedback and review.
Every setup is different, but I think the two issues you mentioned are normally addressed by how the hole is cut for a rear rollout installation. The hole needs to be cut tall enough to allow for the swing of the egg tray lid. In regards to the small gap between the wire floor and the cutout hole, that can accounted for as well when cutting the hole by creating a notch on the bottom of the hole along the length of the nest box that will cover that area or a narrow strip of material could be fastened to cover it as well.
We'd be more than happy to discuss options that might be specific to your installation.
Also, we have many customers who have submitted pictures of successful installations similar to yours. They can be found in the "Videos/Photos" section of our web site.

Absolute garbage. I've tried EVERYTHING even remotely possible from the list of things to try, often in combination, and my hens just refuse to use the box. Customer service was zero help, and guess what, once you put it outside you can't return it and get refund. What a racket.
Oh, and now I've got chickens laying everywhere, the eggs are trashed, and I'm struggling to have eggs to sell. I've actually LOST MONEY by trying to train the chickens to use it, and the whole point was to save money by having fewer broken or dirty eggs.
I don't know how this thing gets any sort of review above a one star rating or how the company can stay in business. Don't buy this box!

Somehow, this nesting option blows away the more traditional 2 story nesting option - like by multiples of 10! Picture to follow:)

I built a new coop an have ( 2 ) 4' nesting boxes. The chickens moved in and on their own started using the nesting boxes. Excellent product and very easy to assemble.

It took a while for the chickens to get used to the new boxes(I bought two) but they are using it now and the eggs roll down into front. Thank you for the innovative idea.

The starter kit with the 4’ nest box, perch popper, food and water bins, and auto coop door are working fantastic on my new coop. The hens love all of it.

We've had these 4 years. Definitely cannot support 45 chickens... Like... Not even close... They compete for the limited space and sometimes, because there are no dividers, some hens harass other hens. Roll away function works fine if you have it leveled correctly. Our old flock had trouble getting used to it but our new flock has only known these boxes so they want to lay in them but they just compete for the space! But these boxes are so expensive we can't afford to buy the two more we probably need... We have just over 50 hens and two of these 48" "Best Nest Boxes" and it is always too full during laying times. Not trying to be salty but honestly, for the price, I wish we had just gone with traditional boxes.

Thanks for your feedback. We have many customers successfully using the large nest box for 45 or more hens. We ourselves use 2 large nest boxes in our test flock of 100 hens. Hens naturally compete for all resources. In all nest box setups, including traditional divided nests, sometimes hens will wait for an occupied space even though plenty of other spaces are available. It's just the unpredictable nature of hens.
We may be able to provide further insight that may help your specific situation. Please feel free to email or text/call.
