Product Information
Full details
The Stubbs Poultry Palace is designed for backyard poultry keepers who prioritize bird health, hygiene, and privacy. Its primary benefit is the durable, non-porous construction that makes parasite management significantly easier than traditional wooden nesting boxes, though its fixed size may not accommodate giant chicken breeds.

FAQs
What is STUBBYTHENE?
STUBBYTHENE is a high-grade, durable plastic material used by Stubbs known for its impact resistance and non-porous, easy-to-clean qualities.
Is this suitable for all chicken breeds?
It is ideal for most standard-sized hens, though very large breeds like Brahmas may find the 39cm depth slightly restrictive.
Can I use this outdoors without a coop?
While durable, it is best used inside a covered coop or run to provide the hens with the necessary protection from direct wind and rain.
How do I clean the Poultry Palace?
Simply remove the bedding and hose it down or use a mild detergent. The non-porous surface prevents bug infestation.
Does it require assembly?
No, the unit comes as a single-piece construction based on the Saddle Mate design, requiring no assembly.
Troubleshooting
Hens are refusing to use the nesting box
Place a fake ceramic egg or golf ball inside the unit to signify it as a safe laying spot.
Bedding keeps being pushed out of the front
Ensure the box is placed on a level surface and consider adding a small wooden lip to the entrance if the floor is particularly sloped.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Resistant to mites and pests due to non-porous material
- Extremely durable and weather-resistant STUBBYTHENE build
- Provides essential privacy for improved laying habits
- Simple, tool-free cleaning process
Cons
- Fixed size may be tight for very large heritage breeds
- Plastic material can become slippery if not lined with bedding
- No built-in mounting hardware included for elevated installations
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the unit on a flat, level surface within your coop. For added stability in drafty areas, the unit can be secured to the wall using basic brackets. To maintain the Palace, remove all bedding once a week and wash the interior with a mild disinfectant or plain water. Because the surface is non-porous, it dries quickly, allowing you to re-fill with fresh bedding almost immediately. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the plastic finish over time.
