BETTER FOR HENS & BETTER FOR EGGS: Our excelsior nest pads are designed to provide maximum comfort for laying hens, offering a soft and supportive surface. The excelsior fibers cradle freshly laid eggs, reducing movement and preventing rolling. This minimizes the risk of cracks and breaks, ensuring that more of your eggs remain intact and usable. IMPROVED AIRFLOW AROUND EGGS: The unique structure of excelsior fibers promotes superior airflow around the eggs. These fibers effectively draw moisture away from the hens and down to the paper backing beneath, helping to keep the nesting area dry. This enhanced moisture management creates a more sanitary and healthier laying environment for your hens. EASY EGG GATHERING: Unlike pine shavings and straw, which can bury eggs and make them difficult to find, our excelsior nest pads keep eggs easily visible on the surface. This makes the process of gathering eggs quicker and more efficient, saving you time and effort while ensuring that no eggs are overlooked. SUSTAINABLY SOURCED ASPEN EXCELSIOR: We are committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Our nest pads are proudly made in the USA using sustainably sourced aspen excelsior fibers from the Great Lakes region. By choosing our product, you are supporting sustainable forestry practices and contributing to the preservation of natural resources. SIMPLE DIRECTIONS: Using our excelsior nest pads is straightforward and hassle-free. Simply place one pad inside each nesting box and use your fingers to fluff the excelsior fibers to the desired depth for added comfort. To clean, remove the pad from the nesting box and shake out any debris. Replace with a new pad as needed to maintain a clean and comfortable laying environment for your hens. Excelsior Nest Box Pads for Hens provide comfort for your hens while providing a soft and clean substrate that cradles their eggs to help minimize rolling which can lead to cracks and breaks. Excelsior nest box pads help draw moisture down and away from the hen to help maintain a more sanitary nesting surface. The excelsior fibers are adhered to a paper backing that helps maintain its shape, so the pads are easily inserted and removed from nest boxes.
