Garvee Chicken Nesting Boxes, 3 Hole with Legs Metal Wall Mount Roll Away Nest with Removable Trays and Roll Out Egg Collection for Chicken Coop

The kit came well packaged and no external damage noted on the box. Even so, there were several damaged pieces upon opening the box. The red top was bent in two places in the center, and the long piece that connects at the bottom was also bent on one corner. These were packed inside surrounded with styrofoam and looked like they should have been well protected. I can only surmise they were shipped already damaged. Even so, I was able to use a hammer to tap the damage out one piece and used a little muscle to kind of straighten the red topper where it was bent. It came together with nuts and bolts even though some of the bending was still present, so the box is usable after assembly.

The instructions are pitiful. All instructions are diagrams and were incomplete. For example, there are pieces that are internal to the box and make up the undercarriage of the egg box. The diagram showed the pieces pointing to the base, but the indication to attach with screws and nuts were omitted. I had to fiddle with it for a long time before I finally realized the instructions were simply incomplete.

Finally, after fitting it altogether, snapping the red roost bar to the egg pan, and inserting into the tray holder I discovered the red egg box tops don't cleanly close. I expected to be able to open the top, remove any eggs, and let it go to close. To property close it, you have to manipulate the egg box with two hands to provide the clearance to allow the top to completely close.

Do yourself a favor and go to YouTube. Search for "Garvee chicken nesting box assembly" and find and watch one or more of the videos. I failed to do so but watched afterwards. It would have helped considerably.

Again, I am keeping the unit. I bought only one to use and test it with a desire to buy more. I'm not sure at this point if I will buy another. I don't have it mounted in the brooder room yet so I don't know how the girls will respond to it. Time will tell, and if they like it and it functions okay, then I'm likely to buy more. Just not sure right now.

Works great and as expected. We use the hemp nesting box pads so the egg collection bins don’t work, but that’s ok and doesn’t affect anything. Easy to assemble. Sturdy and easy to use.

My chickens don’t like it but it’s sturdy and easy to assemble

Easy to put together, only took me about 45 mins by myself. Could go faster with 2 people. No written instructions, just pictures but pretty simple to follow. Feels sturdy so far.
