Matutinus Wooden Chicken Nesting Box — Wall-Mount Coop Nest
Product description
High-quality materials: Each nesting box is built from natural, eco-friendly solid wood that preserves the grain and resilient properties of real timber. The boards resist excessive warping or splitting, are free from chemical treatments, and help keep your birds away from harmful residues.
Comfortable temperature: Wood delivers better thermal performance than metal, helping the interior stay cooler and drier in hot weather and retain warmth when it’s cold. That steadier microclimate lowers the chance of egg spoilage and supports hens laying with less stress.
Designed for lasting use: These boxes are assembled using fine woodworking techniques with tight joints and smoothly sanded edges so there are no rough spots or splinters. The construction is sturdy enough to handle daily use and outdoor exposure, giving you a longer service life and less frequent replacement.
Cozy space: The semi-enclosed layout creates a sheltered, low-light spot for hens to rest and lay. Each compartment measures 13.5 x 13 x 15.5 inches, providing roomy interior clearance. A raised front lip helps keep eggs from rolling out, reducing breakage and loss.
Easy to install: You can mount the box on a coop wall or place it freestanding. The units come with pre-drilled holes and straightforward instructions so assembly is quick and requires no specialized tools. They fit well in backyard coops, small farms, or other poultry areas.

All hens use them now
Bought two for picky layers and now every hen chooses these to lay in.

Solid build but front is low
Well made overall, but the front lip is a bit short so eggs and bedding get pushed out.

Adorable and simple
Very quick to assemble and cute. I’ll add photos after installation; longevity is my only question.
