Description
Petmate Excelsior Nesting Pads provide a soft surface for hens to lay while helping eggs stay dry, clean, and protected from breakage. The chicken nesting box pads absorb moisture from the surface to the paper lining below, providing a sanitary nesting environment for incubation and harvesting eggs. Compatible with most nesting boxes, these nesting pads feature a soft, flexible material that hens prefer over hard surfaces. By attracting hens to lay in the nest box, these nest pads ensure cushioned protection for eggs and easy egg- gathering in a single place. The excelsior surface holds firm to the backing, allowing hens to easily manipulate their nests while keeping nest boxes tidy. Made of 100% biodegradable materials, the nest pads can be safely composted after use. The package includes 10 nest pads, each measuring 13 by 13 inches. The nesting pads are sustainably sourced from 100% Great Lakes Aspen and made in the USA.

If you take your time to separate and lay in nesting boxs there good. Also I love that you can kinda mold them to how you want them in your boxs. They have no odor Easily to clean My hens love them. Great for the price Gets the job done

Pleasantly Surprised
Size: 10 Count (Pack of 1)
I was dubious when this arrived yesterday, but after seeing how my "girls" responded to it, I can give this five stars. The bulk package actually breaks down into several layers with each separated by a piece of heavy paper that is glued to the material and they are about one inch thick. The material kind of reminds me of the material for swamp cooker pads and it moulds easily into the shape of the laying boxes. My girls made it their own and it became a semi-bowl they set on. No dented or broken eggs so 100% success on the eggs surviving. I highly recommend you give this product a try.

Perfect fit in my coop, easy to clean, prevents cracking, chickens love it!
Size: 10 Count (Pack of 1)
Others said that their chickens would not use it and that they scraped it up to pieces. My chickens did some with scrape up these pads but it didn’t affect how they worked. They absolutely love the pads and I love them because I no longer come out to broken eggs! I have one chicken who, no matter how much calcium I add to her diet continuously lays thin-shelled eggs, and she also insists on scratching away all of the wood shavings, so I would always come out to find her eggs crushed in on one side. Therefore, this was a great solution! Not only that but they are very easy to clean. So far I’ve been replacing them once a month, but this is during the winter when the ground is pretty muddy, So I expect in the summer they will last longer. It’s easy to simply dump any droppings out by turning the pad upside down and giving it a good shake. They fit perfectly in my coop (10”x12” nesting boxes).

We love it, but the chickens don't
Size: 10 Count (Pack of 1)
We have over 16 hens who love to scratch out the straw from their nesting boxes. Sometimes they won't get inside the nesting box, but lay just outside of it. It becomes a literal egg hunt, looking for buried eggs in the pine shavings and trying not to step on them in the coop. Because they lay eggs in the shavings, the eggs also are dirtier and takes us longer to scrub them off with a vinegar wash. With winter here, we noticed that the eggs were also developing fine cracks. We bought the nesting pads after coming across a recommendation from a chicken magazine. We love the nesting pads because it provided enough soft padding for the eggs; they were cleaner and because there was more insulation, they did not freeze and develop those fine cracks. They were also easy to pick up and wave around to get rid of chicken poop. Our chickens, however, don't seem to love them as much as we humans do. They attempted to scratch out the strawlike-material to make their own nests; they obviously don't like all the soft material and prefer the harder surface. Within two or three days, they managed to scratch out all the strawlike material into the coop, leaving only the paper backing in the nesting boxes. This is why I give the product 4 stars; for $20 a 10 pack, it's too pricey to replace every two days. I'd prefer that it was sturdier and less easy for chickens to destroy. In the spring, we plan to put a small board against the nesting boxes so it would be harder for the chickens to scratch out the straw. Maybe then I'll buy the nesting pads again and try again with it.

My hens love these...
Size: 10 Count (Pack of 1)
And so do I. The hens like them because they can still fluff them up. I like them because they are easy to replace when needed and the hens can't scratch them out of the box when fluffing them. They last a long time. Much easier than cleaning and replacing straw or hay or wood chips or carpet pads or a dozen other things people use. Here is another tip for the home - chicken ranchers out there...in all the time I have had chickens, the best thing I have ever done is to use sand in the coop instead of hay/straw/woodchips, etc. I buy a couple of tons at a time from the rock/concrete industry. It is super inexpensive and keeps the eggs and the hens cleaner than any other medium. The hens love it. They enjoy a good sand bath. A nice thick bed of sand. I wish I had known decades ago. Shoveling soiled bedding is no fun. Using sand in the house and run and using these nesting pads in the hen boxes will make your hobby much easier and more enjoyable.

Nesting pads make the nesting box so soft.
Size: 10 Count (Pack of 1)
These are definitely chicken friendly. When you take the mats out of the package they are flat. I slightly fluff them and the girls fluff them up to their personal preference for a softer nest. The eggs stay so much cleaner. When necessary I will take the pads out of the nesting boxes to shake off any debris and then put them back in. They last longer than straw or shavings. They seem to last quite a while if you occasionally shake them off. I also used one for a convalescing chicken by making her a soft bed in a laundry basket. It worked great. Super easy to dispose of them. I remove the paper backing, throw it away and the put the nesting material in our compost bin. This is a win win for me and the chickens.
