The Best Nest Box uses a dual floor system to provide the optimal material for each area of the nest box.  This design keeps your nest box cleaner.AstroTurf nest pad material in the egg layer areaAstroTurf nest pad material is specifically engineered for laying hens.  It provides a comfortable, inviting, and hygienic surface to encourage hens to lay.  More information about the nest pad material can be found at the AstroTurf website.Galvanized wire mesh in the egg collection areaThe material in the collection area of the nest box (where the eggs end up and are collected from) is galvanized wire mesh with 1-inch square openings.  This material allows debris that hens bring into the nest box (dirt, manure, hay, straw, feathers, etc.) to fall down and out of the nest box rather than accumulating in the collection area and causing an unclean environment for the eggs.
