Troubleshooting

Hens are not using the nesting box

Ensure the nesting box is in a quiet, dark, and private area of the coop. Check for any obstructions or discomfort within the box and ensure it is clean.

Difficulty collecting eggs

Confirm that the roll-out trays are properly seated and that the easy-lift lid mechanism is functioning correctly. Ensure no debris is blocking the tray's movement.

Nesting box feels unstable after installation

Verify that the mounting screws are securely fastened to the wall. Ensure the wall cut-out is the appropriate size for a snug fit and that the unit is level.

Rust or corrosion on metal parts

While galvanised steel is durable, prolonged exposure to extreme moisture without adequate ventilation can lead to rust. Clean affected areas and consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant if necessary, ensuring it is safe for animal environments.
