Nest Box

Definition: nest box

nest box: an open-fronted box in which a hen lays eggs. The box may be a single unit or part of a series of boxes. Providing nest boxes for laying hens can improve egg production and quality by offering a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for hens to lay their eggs. Farmers can benefit from well-designed nest boxes that reduce egg breakage and contamination, leading to higher yields and better marketability. Proper nest box management also enhances animal welfare and overall farm productivity.
