Nests

Nests

Nests with litter material are preferred by the hens. Suitable materials are buckwheat-, spelt- or oat husk, straw, hay or wood shavings. The eggs stay very clean, especially with the first three mentioned litter materials because they sink into the material and therefore lay protected. Nests with provided litter material can especially be found in hobby poultry or smaller stocks.
