8-Hole Galvanized Metal Chicken Nesting Boxes for Poultry
Product description
Comfortable, sheltered laying space: This 8-hole nesting unit offers hens a protected, draft-reduced area to lay. Side ventilation apertures help airflow so birds stay calm and can maintain regular laying habits.
Heavy-duty galvanized construction: The kit is fabricated from galvanized steel for strength and corrosion resistance. Compared with typical plastic units, the metal build is more durable and resists wear. The panels are light enough for handling and tolerate rinsing — even high-pressure wash-downs — for convenient cleaning.
Egg protection and collection: The interior pan is set on a gentle incline so eggs naturally roll forward beneath a secure lid, keeping them from crowding or being accidentally broken. Adding soft padding beneath the collection lid is advised to cushion eggs against knocks.
What’s included and installation: The package contains the full nesting assembly, all screws and nuts required, and an instruction sheet. Parts fasten with simple bolts and nuts, and keyhole-style hangers let you suspend the unit. Recommended mounting height is about 18–20 inches from the floor. Multiple units can be linked side-by-side for larger flocks.
Size and suitability: The assembled dimensions are approximately 42.9 in. long x 13.2 in. wide x 26.4 in. high, providing eight separate nest spaces. Appropriate for chickens and also adaptable for other small poultry such as ducks or geese, and even small mammals like rabbits. If you encounter any problems with parts or assembly, reach out to the seller for support and resolution.
Pros
- Robust galvanized steel construction
- Angled egg tray with protective lid
- Includes fasteners and installation instructions
Cons
- Panels can dent in transit

VerdictA sturdy, all-metal 8-nest unit that delivers a safe, well-ventilated laying area and a forward-rolling egg collection compartment. Built from galvanized steel for long service life and simple cleaning, it’s a practical choice for backyard flocks and small farms. Assembly can be straightforward with the supplied fasteners, but inspect panels after delivery for damage. When intact, the design helps

Parts mix-up ruined the second set
First four built with minor hole misalignment. Second kit arrived with duplicate panels so I couldn’t complete it; bolts also too short for some mounts. Disappointed given the cost.

Bent panels made alignment tough
Several panels arrived bent, which complicated fitting and assembly. Otherwise a decent product.

Some shipping dings but solid when built
Package seemed previously returned and a few panels were dented. Instructions were confusing about panel placement so we rebuilt once. End result is sturdier than expected.

Wall-mounts well, chickens approved
Quick to assemble and mounts to the wall without fuss. Several birds have adopted their own cubby and even sleep in them.

Grandson found assembly easy
My grandson said they were simple to put together and seem well made. The hens are already squabbling over the spots. We liked them so much this is our second set.
