Reverse Rollaway Nest Box for Chickens: Fully Assembled and Ready to Revolutionise Your Coop

Introducing the Reverse Rollaway Nest Box—a game-changing innovation in poultry care from Dine-A-Chook. This thoughtfully designed nesting box allows you to mount it inside your coop, with the egg collection tray conveniently located outside for easy access. Proudly crafted in Townsville, Australia, this product is ideal for backyard chicken keepers who prioritise efficiency, hygiene, and their flock's comfort.

Why Choose Our Reverse Rollaway Nest Box?

Effortless Egg Collection

The reverse rollaway design ensures that freshly laid eggs gently roll into an external collection tray, keeping them clean and intact. No more entering the coop to gather eggs—saving you time and reducing disruption to your hens.

Built for Durability and Comfort

Made from sturdy 12 mm hardwood ply, this nesting box is built to last in Australia's tough conditions. The interior is lined with commercial-grade materials to create a cosy, inviting space for your hens to lay their eggs.

Encourages Longevity

For added protection against the elements, we recommend painting your nesting box with a high-quality exterior acrylic paint. This not only extends its lifespan but also allows you to customise its look to match your coop’s style.

Key Features

  • External Egg Collection: The reverse rollaway design keeps eggs safe and easily accessible from outside the coop.

  • Fully Assembled: Delivered ready-to-use—no tools or assembly required! Simply mount it inside your coop and start collecting eggs effortlessly.

  • Hygienic Design: Includes removable nesting material that can be cleaned or replaced to maintain a sanitary environment for your hens.

  • Privacy and Comfort: Solid wooden sides and a privacy curtain create a secluded space that mimics hens' natural laying preferences.

  • Practical Details: Built-in steps for easy hen access, a lip to keep nesting material in place, and a slanted roof to prevent roosting on top of the box.

Easy Mounting with Supplied Template and Hardware

Installing your Reverse Rollaway Nest Box is straightforward thanks to the included mounting kit and template:

  • Cut-Out Template Provided: To ensure precise placement of the external egg collection section, we provide a detailed template for marking and cutting the coop wall.

  • Complete Hardware Kit Included: The kit comes with bolts, washers, and nyloc nuts for secure installation.

  • Engraved Mounting Panel: The engraved panel is positioned on the outside of the coop wall, allowing the two faces to firmly secure the nest box to your solid mounting surface.

Important Installation Notes:

  • This nesting box is not suitable for mounting onto wire mesh. It should only be installed into a solid coop wall or substrate capable of supporting both the weight of the box and a hen.

  • If additional support is required, consider resting the nesting box on a suitable stand or shelf to ensure stability and safety for your flock.

How Many Do You Need?

As a general guideline, one nest box can accommodate 3–4 hens comfortably. This ensures ample space for laying while reducing competition and stress among your flock.

Ideal Placement

Install the Reverse Rollaway Nest Box inside your coop in a shaded, quiet area where your hens feel safe and secure. Ensure that the external egg collection tray is easily accessible from outside for convenient egg retrieval.

Proudly Australian Made

At Dine-A-Chook, we are proud to support local craftsmanship by manufacturing all our products at our Townsville facility. Each Reverse Rollaway Nest Box is meticulously designed with both chickens and their keepers in mind, ensuring exceptional quality and functionality.
