ActiveTrail Roll-Away Chicken Nesting Boxes — Galvanized 3-Hole Wall-Mount with Pull-Out Cleanable Tray

ActiveTrail Roll-Away Chicken Nesting Boxes are galvanized, ventilated laying nests with a smooth pull-out tray and three-hole wall-mount design for tidy, easy egg collection.

These nesting boxes are built to make daily coop care faster, cleaner, and more comfortable for hens. The galvanized-steel shell resists weather and wear, while the internal roll-away design guides eggs into a protected collection channel. A removable plastic tray and optional freestanding legs let you tailor installation to your coop layout and cleaning routine.

How does the roll-away system protect eggs and simplify collection?

The sloped interior of each nest encourages freshly laid eggs to roll gently into a protected tray at the front, reducing breakage and preventing hens from sitting on collected eggs. Eggs are kept separate from nesting material and droppings, making daily harvest quick and safe.

• Three-hole design allows multiple hens to lay at once without crowding
• Sloped interior directs eggs into an enclosed collection channel
• Front-access pull-out tray stores eggs in one spot for easy retrieval
• Tray shields eggs from nesting debris and broody hens

What materials and ventilation features keep the nest hygienic?

The box uses galvanized steel for a corrosion-resistant exterior and a smooth plastic tray that wipes clean in seconds. Ventilation holes around the unit help airflow to reduce moisture buildup, keeping bedding and eggs drier and lowering odor.

• Galvanized steel resists rust for outdoor or damp-coop use
• Smooth, non-porous pull-out tray cleans with a quick rinse or wipe
• Perforated panels allow steady airflow to prevent condensation
• Durable fasteners and edges designed for long-term wear

How do I install and position these nesting boxes in my coop?

Installation is designed for one person: use the keyhole slots to hang on a secure wall or attach the included legs for a freestanding setup. Mounting the boxes 18–20 inches off the floor gives hens a comfortable step-up height and convenient access for egg collection.

• Keyhole slots speed wall mounting without complex hardware
• Included legs convert the unit to a floor-standing nest box
• Recommended mounting height: 18–20 inches for most breeds
• Modular grouping lets you combine multiple boxes for bigger flocks

How do I keep the nesting box clean and low-maintenance?

The pull-out plastic tray is the centerpiece of the easy-clean design: slide it out, wipe or hose it down, and slide it back in. Routine checks and occasional deep cleans are straightforward, cutting time spent disinfecting and reducing egg contamination risks.

• Removable tray slides out for quick wiping or rinsing
• Galvanized surfaces resist staining and can be scrubbed as needed
• Vent holes allow faster drying after cleaning
• Simple construction minimizes crevices where debris can build up
