  • Great Item
Size: 6-Pack
My chickens love these nesting pads. They last a long time too and there's no mess.

  • Hens love them, no mess
Size: 6-Pack
These work great. I was skeptical, having always used shavings. Nice thing about these nest box pads is that they hold together instead of scattering. And they are really easy to keep clean, and they last for months. No more shavings for this chicken farmer. Tip - sprinkle *diatomaceous earth* under the pads in summer, just as you would with shavings, to control mites. Tip - you know by now *not to use hay*, because tiny critters like to burrow into the stalks and infect your hens. ... show more

  • Great poo pads!
Size: 6-Pack
These are perfect in the winter when my hens won't leave the coop. I put these on top of their wood shavings and the poop on pads which means easy clean up!

  • I like them but my hens....
Size: 12 Pack
I thought these were so great and the answer to my crazy hen's nest box issues. They kept tearing EVERYTHING out of their nest boxes, so I bought these , with the hope that they would be my answer. Well, true to form, my hens started tearing these up, scattering the nicely made pad everywhere. I still can gather up the leftover pieces of the nesting pad, and put it back in the nest box about 4X per day... they just will not leave anything in the nest box. So the overall review is: I like them very much, but my hens , they can't seem to leave anything in one piece. Hopefully, other people have better success than I have!!! :) ... show more

  • My hens took to these quickly
Size: 12 Pack
I have tried different nest mats, but my chickens use these ones the most. I am on my second order (replacing the ones I bought a year ago), and I will keep buying them. My hens shape the straw the way they want it, and it stays intact in the nesting box. I just lay it in the nesting box and they do the rest - they pull and move it around until it forms a comfortable shape for them. When I can’t use one anymore due to eggs breaking in it or too much chicken poop, then I just put it in my compost bin. I love these, they are the only ones I buy now. ... show more

  • Works great, stays in the box
Size: 12 Pack
At 1st I was worried we these delivered because they are kind of compacted, but after putting them in the nesting boxes, the hens fluff them up and they stay in the box unlike the pine shavings I used to use. Definitely worth buying!

  • Easy to use
Size: 6-Pack
These are really good and I can tell the chickens like them. They can grab them with their claws and fluff them up too. They know how to make them comfortable to lay on.

  • Nice but way overpriced
Size: 12 Pack
These are impossible to clean, and the chickens shred and throw the contents all over. Had an egg break in one and it had to be thrown out and for this price, that's not good. For over $3 each, that's kind of steep . If the chickens don't tear them up, they work really well but mine like to dig in them and make a mess. The bedding is glued to a paper backing so these are not cleanable. ... show more
