Highlighted Reviews
"I have had this for about a year now, (and the nest box) and no problems, other than a hen deciding to go broody and not let anyone else in the nest! She didn't quite get that the eggs safely rolled away on this nest pad. The eggs are clean, and so far, not a single broken egg. The pad is extreme..."
"These nest pads are great until ya get a broken egg and it’s not cleaned up right away the material just desinigrated away and left large holes in pads. Not comparable to egg whites or yokes. Wouldn’t recommend because they won’t last"
Bottom Line
If you prioritize cleanliness and aesthetics and have hens that don't often break eggs, this product may still be a great fit. However, if you expect frequent egg breakages, consider alternatives with higher durability.
