Rite Farm Products 5-Gallon Rear-Access Chicken Nesting Box
Collect eggs from outside the coop with the Rite Farm Products 5-Gallon Rear-Access Chicken Nesting Box. This washable poly nesting box uses a strong 5-gallon bucket design with a rear access cover, allowing you to retrieve eggs from the back of the nest without entering the coop.
The bucket comes pre-drilled with the rear access cover already installed. Once mounted through the coop wall, the nesting area extends inside while the covered rear opening remains accessible from outside, creating a practical setup for poultry keepers who want to make routine egg collection more convenient.

-
Washable Poly Construction: The poly nesting box can be washed as part of routine coop and nesting-area cleanup.
-
Rear Access Cover Included: The bucket arrives drilled with the rear access cover already installed, so this component does not need to be added separately.

Designed for Easier Egg Collection
The main advantage of this chicken nesting box is its rear-access design. Instead of reaching into the coop to gather eggs, you can access the nest through the covered opening at the back of the bucket. For coops where the nesting box can be mounted through an exterior wall, this creates a straightforward way to incorporate outside egg collection into your setup.

Know Before You Buy
This nesting box is designed to pass through the wall of your chicken coop so eggs can be collected from the rear. Installation requires cutting an 11.25-inch circular opening in the coop with a jigsaw. Check your intended mounting location and available space before cutting to make sure the 12-inch x 12-inch x 20-inch overall nesting box dimensions will work with your coop.
