Two hole Rollaway Nest is suitable for up to 10 layers. Rollaway Nests use no litter in the nest box and the specially shaped moulded plastic bowls encourage nesting behaviour. The Chicken enters the nest and proceeds to scratch out a new nestplace. The moulded mesh floor in the bowl then cleans the birds feet and the body warmth quickly heats the plastic of the bowl to ensure it remains dry and comfortable. This nests contain no loose parts to catch on the birds feet.
