Nest Box Pads for Chicken Nesting Boxes - 13 x 13 Pads Made in USA from Sustainably Sourced Aspen Excelsior (10 Pack)

Awesome product. Works wonderful and eggs when we gather them are so clean!!! Game changer!

Impressed with the quality. Arrived compact and fluff up well to become thick and soft. See before and after photo. Material well made and interlocks together well. Using in bins 13x17x4.75 as nest boxes and fills them nicely. Got my girls to use the new setup and lay in these on day one. I’ve not purchased nesting pads before, nothing to compare them to, but I’m pleasantly surprised with the product. Good value and will purchase again.

These nesting pads are soft, durable, and fit perfectly in my chicken coop. My eggs stay clean and protected, and the pads are easy to replace. Highly recommend for any backyard flock!

They tear apart good which is great for the chickens to make a nest but they are a bit messy, so open out side!

These nest box pads are a million times easier and faster and cleaner to work with for lining nest boxes than hay. Easy fill, warmth adder, easy removal and quick change-out. What more could any chicken or chicken owner ask for? The boxes are 11 by 14 (standard prefab chicken kit-house size) and these fit well. These nesting box pads go up on the sides a bit, making it fit in a more nest-like way, while still leaving plenty of room.Our hen house has a line of three nest boxes and the hens normally lay in the outer two boxes. On the first trial, I placed a liner in each of the outer two nest boxes where they usually lay eggs. The next morning a couple hens were running around hollering and quite bothered by the "new things". Two eggs were layed that morning, both in the middle box where I didn't put a nest box pad. After gathering those eggs, I placed a third nest pad in the middle section, hoping the chickens wouldn't suddenly start laying elsewhere. Was not sure what to expect. Next day there were eggs. On the nest pads. They got over their irritation and confusion quite quickly and there were no problems on day two. The hens had fluffed the material up a bit. The eggs came out of the boxes beautiful, clean and free of cracks. There is some kind of light slick paper-liner that holds the material of the mat together and changing them out is a snap! (Not that it will need to be done frequently.)If you have a prefab chicken house and normally use hay on the floor of it these work really well for that, too. We had installed them right before a sudden super-cold snap. Thank goodness we had those in there for that. What peace of mind.We will definitely be using these from now on. Honestly, this one is a pretty big game changer for laying hens (and their owners).If you are considering these and have yet to try them, try them, you will love how much easier it makes that aspect of chicken care.

I have NO idea how or why these make a difference, but my eggs really are staying cleaner. I was using hemp bedding before...and love it for many reasons and uses...but would sometimes find eggs buried. I thought I'd give these a try just to see, and I'm surprised at how well they are working out. The girls seem to like them just fine. They also seem to be lasting a good while, as well. I wasn't sure they would be worth the price, but I think I'm a convert! lol. (I still put a thin layer of hemp under the pad. Not sure if it makes a difference.)

Must have. So easy and my Huns love them!! If there are any broken eggs you can replace them so easily.

The pads help keep boxes clean and chickens seem to like them.Cons they are 1/2 as thick as the ones from farm stores
