Little Giant® Plastic Chicken Nesting Box | Chicken Nest Box for Laying Hens | Chicken Bed | Egg Laying Chicken Box | Chicken Perch | Nesting Box for Chicken Coops
Purchase options and add-ons
- QUALITY MATERIALS - This nesting box is made of high density, impact-resistant polyethylene that will not rust, rot, or corrode. It can be securely mounted vertically or side by side.
- EASY-TO-CLEAN - This smooth plastic surface is easy to keep clean and does not get as cold as metal, making it more comfortable for the nesting chicken or other small bird.
- INCLUDES PERCH - This plastic nesting unit features an entrance perch that gives hens a place to land before entering the nest and ventilation holes for fresh air. The lowered box floor helps prevent a loss of bedding, sloped roof prevents roosting.
- WALL MOUNTS - This box mounts to 16” on-center studs. If you hang three units vertically we recommend the first unit be mounted 24” off the ground to protect from predators, while the top unit will be low enough from the ceiling to prevent roosting.
- PLASTIC PREFERRED - When compared to wood tables or metal unit supplies, plastic stays warmer in winter months, is easier to clean, more sanitary, and reduces mite and bug infestations.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
They need dark, they need shade, they VERY much want privacy, they don't want a hen to perch on the top of the bx and disturb them, they need room to turn around and tend to their nest, and a perch on which to jump to the box, look in and inspect it prior to settling in.
They also want it off the floor. If, like me, you have non-flying hens, they can still clear at least a foot even if they can't fly, and they like to be off the ground as hens fear mice and snakes when they go into their deep egg laying trance.
They also very much need ventilation.
So we just expanded the outbuildings at the sanctuary (which look like an Old West town now) and while some at our rescue are there because someone discarded them after they stopped laying, we have recently taken in some young ones who were in need of care for a variety of reasons which means new eggs. These can be installed in the walk-in buildings by just screwing them into the wall below the higher perches--or on any wall. I bought several.
I love the fold down perch in front as do they.
It's super easy to clean, unlike wooden boxes which means it's more sanitary for your girls. And if you have very broody hens this is even more important.
It does not come with screws which is the one drawback I wish they would have thought of, but buy yourself 4 number 10 screws to go with each opening when you place the order and get happier hens.
That means you'll also get more eggs--while that's never been our goal as we love caring and helping them--it does happen when they are this content and feel this safe in their boxes.
We mounted it just a few inches from the ground in their cozy coop.

It's hideous to look at, so given it has no practical use, will just toss. It seems to be effective for others, though, so why not give it a try
