Works for bantams good
Pros: Cleans up nice, withstood nasty Nebraska weather, bantams love it
Cons: Pricey, A bit small, couldn't get my standard breeds to use it
If you're not a craftsy person, I'd recommend getting it. However, if possible I'd say make your own vs buying this. It's nothing special, but does as it's advertised. Really no complaint on design, except I feel it's a bit small. My standard sized hens refused to use it.

Works well
Pros: Easy to install or move, durable plastic
Cons: Price

Now $20, caught on sale for $15
I have 6 of these I caught on sale. At first the New Jersey Giants ignored them and I removed the wooden nest box setup they had. They lay in the boxes and break very, very few.
They install in minutes and can be relocated just as quick.

I bought mine covered cat litter pans from Dollar General for $11. each. My birds are happy with them.

ChinoChix...maybe it was $18 I paid for it. Just thinking about it and 1 year later seeing $20 on them. Anything under $20 is a bit easier to bit the bullet on, IMO. LOL

ChinoChix, good point about installing on wall studs. In the future we plan to upgrade our coop and I didn't think about if we use the studs!!

Good points. You should send them to the manufacturer.

If they were the only nests available for first laying hens, it "might" go better, use wise. You know how there are 10 nests and they all use one?? Mine will stand and sqwuack at the hen in the nest that they all want. Others empty!

My hens use a cat carrier with the top of for easy access to eggs. My only problem is all 3 hens are using the 1 in the back and 1 hens broody so the other 2 squeeze in next to her when they lay there eggs. I know I must remove them sins they will hatch later than the other eggs that I fortunately marked with pencil.
