I purchased 4 wooden dummy eggs, which arrived by courier the next day! My new pullets have now got the message and are laying in the nests. Thank you Appletons, excellent service and a great product.

Just what I wanted

These are great. Hens lay in the nests you leave them in and they arent too realistic so the kids wont bring them to the house when they collect the eggs 😆

Great service, prompt response & follow-up action… highly recommended… Simon @ Timaru

Good option

Nicely finished.

Wooden Nest Eggs (A Pair)

Thank you so much, these have been amazing & kept ducks using the same nest which they have built up beautifully now (after shifting sites 3x in disgust with my egg raiding!) 👍👍

Nice looking eggs, good shape & weight, but super large - no where near even our large eggs. Possibly better suited for ducks or geese than hens. Our hens are not sure either. I put them in the nest they were laying consistently in and they immediately started laying in other nests.

Wooden Nest Eggs (A Pair)

Thank you, I was a bit worried that the eggs, being a bit bigger than those laid by my chickens, would not work, but was wrong. I no longer have a daily egg hunt as our free-rangers lay where the artificial eggs are now.

These eggs have encouraged the birds to lay in the next box I purchased with them - I have also placed one in the chicken house and the chooks have started to lay in the same box as the wooden egg which is very handy - no more stretching to reach the furthest corner of the chook house.
