Product Information

Full details

The Stubbs Poultry Palace is designed for backyard poultry keepers who prioritize bird health and low-maintenance coop management. Inspired by the classic Saddle Mate design, this enclosed nesting box provides a secure, private environment that encourages consistent egg-laying while effectively mitigating the common issue of poultry parasites. While its compact footprint is ideal for smaller coops, users should note that the fixed dimensions mean it is best suited for standard-sized chicken breeds rather than exceptionally large ornamental varieties.

FAQs

Is the Stubbs Poultry Palace suitable for outdoor use?

While durable and weather-resistant, it is intended to be used inside an existing coop or sheltered run to protect the hens from direct extreme elements.

How do I clean the material?

Use water and a mild detergent; the non-porous surface wipes clean very easily, and it can be hosed down safely.

Does it come in other colors?

This specific model is the Orange variant.

Can this be used for ducks?

While designed for chickens, some poultry keepers use it for ducks; however, note that ducks can be messier, so more frequent cleaning will be required.

What is the material made of?

It is made of STUBBYTHENE, a high-quality, durable plastic compound known for its longevity in agricultural settings.

Troubleshooting

Hens are refusing to use the new nesting box

Place a wooden or ceramic nest egg inside to encourage the hens to investigate and claim the space.

Nesting box sliding on coop floor

Secure the base to the coop floor using zip ties through pre-drilled holes or by placing a small weight at the rear.

Accumulation of moisture inside

Ensure the coop is well-ventilated and check that you are replacing soiled bedding regularly to prevent humidity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to sanitize compared to wood nest boxes
  • Sturdy construction prevents cracking and structural failure
  • Enclosed back promotes a sense of security for nervous layers
  • Naturally weather-resistant material suitable for varied climates

Cons

  • Fixed size may not accommodate giant chicken breeds comfortably
  • Material can become warm in direct, intense sunlight
  • No built-in mounting hardware included for elevated installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Poultry Palace is straightforward as it requires no assembly. Simply place the unit on a level surface within your coop or shelter. If you prefer to mount it slightly off the ground to keep bedding cleaner, ensure you use sturdy brackets that support the weight of the unit and the hen.

For cleaning, the non-porous material is best maintained with a simple hose-down and a mild, bird-safe disinfectant. Avoid using harsh metal scrapers that could scratch the surface. Ensure the unit is completely dry before adding fresh straw or nesting pads to prevent moisture buildup.
