ChickBox Lite Rollaway Nest Box for Chickens
The 'Chick Box Lite' Rollaway Nest Box for Chickens, made in the UK by BEC Osprey.
* Available in Purple or Dark Green
* Warm, cosy environment to encourage hens to lay
* Well ventilated
* Adjustable perch
* Easy install
* Curtain for reduced light transmission and privacy
* Easy to clean
* Includes rollaway tray with clear flap
The unique perch allows you to close the nesting area when required. It is also designed to encourage birds to perch on the non-slip bar or to move into the nesting area. A privacy curtain is included.
A very practical idea to save broken eggs and therefore prevent egg eating, as well as being a useful way of converting a shed or outbuilding for use as a hen house. Needs to be mounted on the wall of the coop which then provides the back of the nest box.
We advise allowing one nest box per 4 birds. This colourful plastic box comes with a roll-out egg tray and clear flap making it very easy to check to see if there are eggs to collect. This will protect your eggs from being fouled, pecked and otherwise damaged.
Available with either a Purple body or a Dark-ish Green body - each comes with black perches, curtain and nest tray. 35mm screws included. Watch the video of how to install the Chickbox from the Youtube link in the images above.
Dimensions: Width 34cm; Depth 31cm; Height 45cm. Front to back (depth) with perch in down position 54cm.
Front Access Opening: Width 27cm, Height 20cm

fantastic
Positives
easy to clean, easy to erect and install, look lovely, no red mites
Negatives
The roof is saggy with no support, somehow the trays fall out, eggs are getting eaten and smashed during this teething problem. Can sit and poop on the top of them easily and knock the perch up when they jump up. I think if they misjudge the perch and hit the tray, this is when it falls out
It’s been a struggle for my little ladies to change over and adapt to the new nest boxes so they are
Laying all over the coop floor now. You can’t leave eggs in them to encourage to use due to the roll away. If they smash an egg inside the box then I’ve found none roll away and they all stick to the smashed egg. I am sticking with them as they are great. I just didn’t think it would be this much of a struggle for them to adapt to the change and with all the above have given an honest
4 star review and attached photos of my first week in use
The link for the instruction video on how to build is broken too.
Hi Claire,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your feedback on nest boxes. With regards to the trays coming out, as that in part seems to be a large contributor to the problems you're having - the back edge of the tray should have angled flaps to allow it to clip into the mounting bar which should prevent this? If that is not the case, please let us know and we shall discuss witht he manufacturer :)

I have had great quality items from this company.
There was an issue with this product but the company responded immediately and sent out a replacement the same day.
I am impressed with their friendly and prompt action. Many thanks to Dan!
PS. My chickens are using the nest box...clean eggs at last
Delivered very fast. Very easy to put together and install, about 30 mins max. So far no eggs laid, but time will tell
Great box to attach to a wall, chickens have adapted within a week to use them and already eggs are rolling forward so fewer breakages from the girls! Despite some choosing to roost and fill the laying area with poops one night, it was really easy to pull out the tray and clean it! Customer service is incredible and delivery is speedy! If you are looking for a good nestbox then I would recommend these!
