The Dine-A-Chook Reverse Roll Away Chicken Nesting Box is designed to keep eggs clean, protected, and easy to collect. Installed inside the coop with an external egg collection tray, this nesting box allows eggs to roll safely away as soon as they are laid, reducing breakage and soiling.
Reverse Roll Away Egg Protection
As eggs are laid, they gently roll into an external collection tray, helping prevent breakage, soiling, and egg eating. This reverse roll away design improves hygiene and makes daily egg collection faster and more convenient.
Built for Australian Conditions
Constructed from durable 12 mm Okoume marine ply, this nesting box is designed for long-term use in Australian backyard coops. Okoume is a marine-grade plywood selected for its strength, stability, and resistance to moisture when properly sealed and maintained.
Mounting Requirements
This nesting box is designed to be mounted into a solid coop wall. A mounting template and full hardware kit are supplied to ensure accurate cut-out and secure installation.
- Suitable for solid timber or panel walls
- Not suitable for wire mesh installation
- May be supported by a shelf or ledge if additional support is required
Flock Sizing & Placement
One nesting box comfortably suits approximately 3–4 hens. For best results, install in a quiet, shaded area of the coop with the external egg collection tray easily accessible from outside.
Optional Custom Engraving
The external front panel of this nesting box can be personalised with optional custom engraving, making it a great choice for gift purchases or adding a personal touch to your coop. Popular engraving ideas include family names, farm names, or short phrases such as Smith Family Farm, Fresh Eggs Daily, or The Hen House.
