On Hold EGG SAVER Nest Box For Bantams

EGG SAVER NEST BOX TM. I have for sale the EGG SAVER nesting box for bantams or any chicken under 10". This box can help reduce the loss of eggs due to cannibalism by chickens. There's nothing worse than going out to the coop and finding no eggs and a bunch of chickens staring at you with egg yolk all over their faces. Chickens don't normally eat eggs but once an egg gets broken and they taste it they become addicted to it,and you'll start losing eggs very quickly. This box even helps reduce egg loss to cats and dogs. Provided you've anchored it to something. They are great for free range chickens or in breeding pens where every egg is precious. These boxes come with a padded insert, I don't use it myself but you may wish to . Try it both ways and see which works better for you. My hens lay their eggs directly on the wood and the egg moves to the back of the box safely behind a barrier. If you have a chicken that lays brittle or pointed eggs you can lay a piece of linoleum in the box or use the padded insert provided to cushion the blow. These boxes have debris removal slots to help reduce blockage that can hinder egg movement, but it is important to check the box regularly for any thing that may interfere with the proper functioning of the unit. There is a pin at the back of the box to lock the lid down. The dimensions are 9.5"tall X 9" wide X 15.5"deep. Made of #1, 1/2" plywood, 5 ply. This is a high quality, durable box and should last many years. These boxes have been Pre Sanded in case you want to paint them. If you live in a wet climate the box should be painted. The weight is approx. 8 LBS. If you have exhausted every option and your still losing eggs to chickens and other predators this may be the solution for you. I can't guarantee that this box will save every egg, but it can greatly increase your chances of salvaging eggs that would have otherwise been destroyed.
