We’ve had one egg laid in it - but that hen has now joined her sisters in finding nice little spots in the long grass. However it probably be ok if the hens were contained in a yard of some sort. Ours are totally free range.

Unfortunately my chickens do not seem to like the liner and the only way I can get them to lay on it is if I put a lot of straw around and over the liner which is not intended, I’m sure.

This nest liner together with a fake egg finally convinced my chickens to actually lay their eggs in the Eglu nest box instead of on the floor, so I am very happy with the purchase. It is very easy to install. However, poo gets stuck in it every day (especially if one hen sits on the nest during the night) meaning it has to be removed daily, cleaned under the water hose, left to dry and then re-attached. It would be quicker to collect poo from a nest full of wood chips or hay, but my chickens didn't like that and just kicked it all around. Having 2 would definitely help with quicker cleaning.

A solution to my hens scratching out their nesting material. This is easily fastened in place. Had to sprinkle their accustomed shavings over the top for 1st days, but shook the Astroturf out and they have been very happy laying nice clean eggs since. As one hen goes broody frequently I put a ceramic caserole lid over the nest at night which also solved that problem. Hens love being shut in their Go these freezing winter nights.

Great idea, easy to clean and no need to have hay or sawdust on hand. Non messy too!

Good product and service
