Frequently Asked Questions
How many hens can use the Twin Chicken Nesting Box?
The Twin Nesting Box comfortably accommodates flocks of up to 12 hens. We recommend one nesting space for every 3–4 hens to promote calm, stress-free laying.
Does the Twin Nesting Box come assembled?
No. This nesting box is supplied as a flat pack DIY kit. It includes all the required parts and hardware, with a simple "Dog Bone" interlocking system for fast and easy assembly.
What tools do I need to assemble it?
Assembly is straightforward. You’ll need a rubber mallet and a screwdriver or cordless drill. All screws are included in the kit.
Can I customise or paint the box?
Yes. The hardwood plywood is supplied raw and is paint-ready. You can customise the appearance with your choice of exterior-grade paint or stain. We recommend finishing for any outdoor exposure.

No. While compatible with our privacy curtain and removable nest mat, these items are not included and must be purchased separately.
Where should I install the Twin Nesting Box?
Mount the box on a flat wall inside a shaded, quiet area of the coop. This encourages laying behaviour and protects the timber from excessive weather.
