If your on the fence about one of our new rollaway nesting boxes, here's a sign to get your order in. They are made from the best marine ply you can get. Okoume. Not only do they look fantastic, but once you paint them up, they will last a very long time, and your chooks will love the commercial grade 'removalable' nesting mat.
