6-Compartment Roll-Away Chicken Nesting Box with Legs, Lid & Perch
Product description
Effortless assembly with pre-installed hardware: This six-compartment metal nesting bank includes clearly labeled panels and pre-installed nuts at all primary joints. The kit ships with the nesting unit, six collection tray lids, a perch, a set of elevated legs, a detachable sunshade cloth, protective gloves, and the bolts required for fastening. Follow the step-by-step guide to align lettered panels, insert the bolts and tighten—no separate loose nuts to wrestle with.
Edge protection and secure collection: All exposed metal edges are finished with a double-hemmed fold to eliminate sharp corners and reduce the risk of cuts during assembly or daily use. Each nesting compartment features a lockable lid over the egg tray so laid eggs are kept out of reach of curious hens and predators while remaining easy to collect.
Climate control and privacy: A removable sunshade cloth is supplied to reduce direct sun on the roof and limit heat transfer through the metal, helping keep nest boxes cooler on warm days. Side ventilation perforations provide airflow and the compartment layout offers a private, darkened space that encourages natural laying behavior.
Durable galvanized steel with roll-away function: The main body is constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel to resist rust and stand up to repeated cleaning. Each nesting chamber is angled with an approximate 6° slope so eggs gently roll forward into the covered collection tray, helping keep eggs clean and protected until retrieval. Smooth surfaces and moderate weight make washing and maintenance straightforward.
Placement options and use: The unit can be used elevated on the included high feet for a freestanding setup, mounted to a wall using the integrated keyhole hanging slots, or set on the ground. It works for chickens as well as similarly sized poultry. Bedding may affect the roll-away action, so trays can be used with or without pads depending on your preference.
Complete kit and support: The package contains the 6-compartment nesting box, collection tray lids, perch, legs, detachable sunshade, installation bolts, and protective gloves. If you encounter any assembly questions or need assistance during installation, customer support is available to help resolve issues and ensure the unit is set up correctly.

Great for beginner chicken keepers
Bought this for my son's family. He said the build was straightforward and the hens appear to appreciate the private spaces.

Comes as a kit — assembly required
Panels are stickered and match the manual, and the kit feels mostly complete. It’s solid after assembly but I recommend fastening it to a wall or run for extra stability. Set aside time to put it together and you’ll be happy with the finished nesting bank. Metal construction also cuts down on wood-loving pests.

Sturdy addition to a large coop
Well-built and substantial once assembled. Parts are organized to make construction as simple as possible for an item this size. You can hang it or use the legs for a freestanding bank. The decorative chicken cutouts are a pleasant touch. The sloped floors and flap-covered trays do move eggs forward, but loose bedding can block the path. A partial back wall prevents eggs from falling through. The small shade tarp is included but offers limited extra coverage.

Cleaner eggs and sturdy build
Installed the six-compartment unit and it simplified daily chores. The roll-away trays worked as intended, keeping eggs clean and out of reach so hens don’t peck them. Pre-installed nuts made assembly easier than other metal boxes I’ve tried. Elevating it on metal legs keeps the unit off damp ground and the perch holds heavier birds without sagging. The collection lids close securely against predators.

Roll-away is hit-or-miss
Good, durable boxes, though the center compartments feel a bit tighter. Some instructions suggested using a nesting pad to reduce heat, then warned it could stop the roll-away function. In practice, the roll feature is inconsistent—smooth, debris-free trays work, but a single tiny shaving can stop an egg. If you don’t rely on roll-away, the units are still easy to clean and long-lasting.

A bit frustrating to put together, but performs
Some holes required persuasion to line up and a few panels were tight, but the finished product feels solid. Nests are a touch small for some hens, and the rolling may need extra slope or wall mounting to function reliably. Cleaning is simple, though the metal can heat up so place it in shade or inside the coop in hot weather.

Solid design with a tricky step
This six-slot nesting bank gives six hens private laying spaces and the egg trays keep eggs accessible and clean. The 6° tilt feeds eggs forward into the catch tray reliably when the path is clear. Assembly instructions are clear and the labeled parts help, but accessing some screw heads during fastening is awkward due to limited clearance, which made that part slow. Better placement of access holes would simplify that step.
