The iPetz Roll Away Nesting Box is a sloped‑floor, roll‑away style nesting box designed for poultry. It allows freshly laid eggs to roll under the laying area and into a protected collection compartment, helping keep your eggs clean and safe from predators and damage.The iPetz Roll Away Nesting Box offers a smart and practical upgrade for backyard flocks or small‑scale poultry keepers who want cleaner eggs and easier collection. Built with a sloped compartment design, the box ensures that when a hen lays an egg, the egg gently rolls away under the laying area and into a separate collection tray. This mechanism keeps eggs away from foot traffic, droppings and pecking hens, reducing the risk of cracked, dirty or broken eggs. It comes flat‑packed for convenience and is available in different bay sizes—such as a 2‑bay unit (approx 54 × 52 × 47 cm) and a 3‑bay unit (approx 81 × 52 × 47 cm) for higher capacity. The design also helps protect eggs from external threats like crows or other egg‑thieves by moving the eggs out of the main nesting zone. With the roll‑away feature, egg collection becomes simpler and more hygienic: you can retrieve your eggs from the collection tray rather than reaching into the nesting box itself. This tends to save cleaning effort and time. The design is appreciated in poultry equipment reviews for this reason. Key Features: Sloped internal floor inside each compartment so eggs roll into a protected tray beneath the laying zone. Flat‑packed for easier transport and assembly. Available in two bay‑sizes (at least): 2‑bay (~54 × 52 × 47 cm) and 3‑bay (~81 × 52 × 47 cm) models. Designed to keep eggs cleaner and away from egg thieves or predators. Suitable for poultry setups where cleaner egg collection and reduced egg breakage are desired. Supported by industry buying guides that single out roll‑away boxes as effective for those goals. Usage / Install Notes: Choose a size (2‑bay vs 3‑bay) that suits your flock size and coop space. Larger flocks or those planning growth should consider the 3‑bay. Position the nesting box at an appropriate height inside the coop so hens can comfortably access it, but not so low that droppings or other hens disrupt the laying surface. Use minimal bedding in the laying area — since the egg rolls away, deep straw isn’t needed and may interfere with the roll mechanism. Regularly inspect the roll‑away tray to collect eggs promptly and ensure nothing obstructs the rolling path. Clean the collection tray periodically to maintain hygiene and minimise risk of contamination of eggshells.
