Product Information
Full details
The Stubbs Poultry Palace is designed for backyard chicken keepers looking for a low-maintenance, hygienic nesting solution for their hens. Drawing inspiration from the popular Saddle Mate design, this durable unit offers a secure and comfortable environment that is simple to clean and resistant to common poultry pests, though its compact footprint may be better suited for smaller flocks or individual nesting needs rather than large group laying.

FAQs
Is the material safe for my chickens?
Yes, STUBBYTHENE is a durable, non-toxic plastic designed to withstand outdoor conditions without leaching chemicals.
Can this be used outdoors without a coop?
While it is weather-resistant, it is designed for use as a nesting box within a protected coop or run to keep your chickens dry and secure from predators.
How do I clean stubborn stains?
Use a soft brush and a mild detergent solution. Avoid harsh metal scrapers that could scratch the surface, as this might create places for bacteria to hide.
Will this fit a large Orpington chicken?
The dimensions are 44cm x 44cm x 39cm; it is suitable for standard breeds, but very large or giant breeds may find it slightly snug.
Does it require assembly?
No, the Stubbs Poultry Palace arrives as a single, ready-to-use unit.
Troubleshooting
Hens are refusing to use the nest.
Place a few wooden or ceramic nest eggs inside to signal that it is a safe and appropriate place to lay.
The unit slides around inside the coop.
Secure the base to the coop flooring using small brackets or weighted blocks to prevent movement when hens jump in and out.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely easy to clean and sanitize
- Weather-resistant material ensures long-term outdoor durability
- Compact size fits easily into various coop configurations
- Non-porous surface actively helps prevent parasite infestations
Cons
- Fixed dimensions may not accommodate larger breeds comfortably
- Not intended for use as a primary shelter for more than one hen at a time
- Lightweight construction might require securing in high-wind areas
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward as the unit arrives ready for placement. Position the Poultry Palace on a level surface inside your coop or run, ideally in a shaded, low-traffic area to encourage laying. Ensure the opening is easily accessible for your hens but protected from direct rain or heavy drafts. To clean, remove any bedding and wash the interior with a mild, poultry-safe disinfectant or simply warm, soapy water. Allow the unit to dry completely before adding fresh nesting material. The material is fully washable and will not rot or rust like traditional wooden nesting boxes.
