Description

This is a great roll out nest box with a new feature.  If you have a broody hen you can "convert" it to a regular nest box to accommodate your hen.  

Comes with all the equipment of a roll out nest.

Our conversion 4, 6, 8, and 10-hole nest boxes are a Stromberg’s Exclusive! The new design of our galvanized metal nesting boxes allows you to easily convert each individual hole from the rollout feature to conventional whenever the need. It grants the ability to have any number of your nest compartments with the rollout feature preventing your eggs from getting dirty or soiled from your hens.

Each nest box has its own individual metal flap for easy collection. Have a broody hen and do not want the roll out feature in one of your nest holes? No worries, remove the roll out nest bottom and install the conventional nest bottom then just securely close the flap with the latch.

The plastic perch allow for easy sanitation. It flips up for egg collection and to close off the nest boxes at night if necessary. Rollout nest bottoms (PC209) and 12"x12" conventional nest bottoms (PC214) are included. Some assembly required.You can view assembly instructions.

    Convertible roll out nest boxes

    by Lara Maxwell on Jun 22, 2024

    I ordered from Stromberg, but it’s supplied by Mann Lake. I gave it 4/5 stars but as roll out nest boxes go it was a great purchase. I needed to switch from a conventional metal 8 hole to roll out 8 hole due to rampant egg eating hens. I needed the convertible because my hens absolutely refused the switch the first time I tried with a different brand of roll out boxes. With this one, I made every other one roll out. I’m very slowly converting them over. The hens love the deep conventional nest boxes of this setup. Just that change greatly reduced the egg eating because the included nest boxes are so deep that my hens can’t see the eggs well. Assembly was a bit long (2 hours?) but not too bad. I propped mine up on blocks instead of hanging on the wall because I have ducks. I also left the lower roost bar off so that the ducks can climb into the boxes. I needed more to help the birds climb in, so I put grip tape on the metal roll out box so birds don’t slip on the metal. I put a bar across the front of each row of nest boxes as there is not the usual rolled edge that hens use to help themselves into the box. Lastly, I changed the upper roost bar by adding a 4 x 1 board as my hens didn’t like the narrow 2” bar that’s included. You might want to consider whether your set up needs these changes before installing and then trying to make changes!
