Our nest box are designed to support more hens by utilizing a "Community Style" design. Here's how it works: No Divider Walls: Traditional nest boxes have divider walls creating individual holes or compartments (e.g., 2-hole, 4-hole, 8-hole). These can cause overcrowding as hens prefer to join other hens in the same space, leading to stress and potential injury. Community Style: The community-style nest box eliminates these dividers, providing a single, open space for all the hens. This design mimics the natural behavior of hens, who prefer to lay eggs in communal areas. Reduced Overcrowding: Without the dividers, the risk of overcrowding is minimized because the hens have more space to spread out. This reduces stress and the likelihood of injuries. By adopting this design, the nest box can comfortably accommodate the maximum number of hens for each size without the drawbacks associated with traditional divided nest boxes.
