GARVEE 6 Hole Chicken Nesting Boxes Small Flock Poultry Hen Laying Egg Station Galvanised Steel Sloping Roof Easy Clean
Six individual, private laying areas, perfect for maximising small to medium flock efficiency.
Optimise Egg Production and Hen Comfort
The GARVEE 6-Hole Chicken Nesting Box system provides a clean, safe, and private environment essential for happy hens and high-quality eggs. Designed specifically for small to medium-sized flocks, this unit efficiently organises your laying area by offering **six** individual compartments across two tiers. The robust galvanised steel construction ensures these boxes will withstand the elements and the wear of daily use for years to come.
Built for Durability and Hygiene
Anti-Roosting Sloping Roof
The top surface is engineered with a slope, actively discouraging hens from roosting or sitting on top of the boxes, which keeps the exterior clean and promotes better sanitation.
Hinged Perch Access
Each level includes a hinged perch that can be folded up to encourage hens to exit after laying, simplifying nightly egg collection and preventing late-night roosting inside the boxes.
Sanitary Galvanised Steel
Unlike wood, the galvanised metal is non-porous and incredibly easy to clean and disinfect, dramatically reducing the potential for parasites like mites and lice.
The folding perches offer convenience for collection and better nightly hygiene control.
Designed for Small Flocks and Commercial Use
With **six** private nests, this system comfortably caters to a small to medium-sized flock, ensuring enough secluded spots to prevent fighting and stress during laying time. The individual compartments are designed to give hens the privacy they instinctively seek, leading to a higher yield of well-formed, clean eggs. The two-tier design makes excellent use of vertical space in any coop or barn structure.
Secure wall mounting ensures stability and keeps the nesting areas off the floor.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
The nesting boxes arrive flat-packed and require simple assembly. It is recommended to mount the unit securely to a solid wall or sturdy frame in the darkest, quietest area of the coop, away from drafts and food/water. Ensure the bottom tier is raised at least 18 inches (45 cm) off the floor to meet hen preferences. Line each box with clean bedding (straw, pine shavings) and replace frequently to maximise hygiene and egg quality.

Customer Reviews
The girls are laying regularly and the boxes are a breeze to maintain. A cracking purchase all round.
Looked at a few different brands but this Garvee one seemed the most robust for the price. Definitely glad I went for it.
The layout is very efficient. It fits a lot of nesting space into a relatively compact footprint in the coop.
Straightforward assembly and a very practical design. It’s made my morning chores a lot faster.
I was concerned about the hens catching themselves, but the finish is very smooth and safe. Quality engineering throughout.
A quick brush out and a spray is all it takes. It stays much fresher than the old straw-soaked wooden boxes.
You can feel the quality of the galvanised steel. It’s a sturdy bit of kit that feels like it’ll last for years in the run.
Wish I’d bought this sooner. The sloping roof really is the best feature for keeping the nesting area tidy.
It looks very professional in the poultry run. The hens seem to prefer the dark, secure feel of these boxes.
I’m not the best with DIY, but I had this put together in no time. The instructions were clear and all the bits lined up spot on.
