Full details

Troubleshooting

Nesting box is wobbly after assembly

Ensure all screws and bolts are tightened securely. Check that the legs are properly attached and evenly adjusted, especially if placed on uneven ground.

Hens are hesitant to use the nesting box

Ensure the nesting box is placed in a quiet, secure area of the coop. You can try placing a few decoy eggs inside to encourage use. Confirm the ventilation is not creating drafts.

Difficulty collecting eggs

Make sure the easy-lift lid is fully opened. If eggs are rolling out from the front, check that the roll-out design is functioning correctly and not obstructed.

Moisture or odour buildup

Verify that the air vents are not blocked and that there is sufficient overall ventilation in the coop area. Clean the removable tray regularly.
