Rite Farm Products Rear Access Bucket Chicken Nesting Box Kit

Turn a standard round bucket into a practical chicken nesting box with the Rite Farm Products Rear Access Bucket Nesting Box Kit. Designed to work with 3.5-, 5-, 6-, or 7-gallon round buckets, this washable poly kit provides the components needed to create a durable nesting area while making egg collection accessible from outside the chicken coop.

The rear access design is especially useful when planning a coop setup where eggs can be gathered without reaching into the nesting area from inside. A 6.5-inch-wide rear cover provides access through a 6-inch opening cut into the bucket, while the 8-inch-wide perch gives hens a convenient place to step before entering the nest. The bucket itself is not included, allowing an available compatible bucket to be used for the setup.

Key Features

  • Rear Egg Collection: The access cover allows eggs to be collected from the rear of the bucket and outside the coop, creating a more convenient approach to routine egg gathering.
  • Fits Multiple Bucket Sizes: Designed for use with 3.5-, 5-, 6-, and 7-gallon round buckets, providing flexibility when choosing a bucket for the nesting box.
  • Washable Poly Construction: The strong poly components are washable, making routine nesting box cleanup more manageable.
  • 8-Inch-Wide Perch: Provides a dedicated perch at the entrance of the bucket nesting box.
  • Rear Access Cover: The 6.5-inch-wide cover fits over the required 6-inch rear bucket opening for outside egg access.
  • Made in the USA: Manufactured in Saltillo, Texas.

Convenient Outside-the-Coop Egg Collection

This bucket nesting box kit is designed around easier access to freshly laid eggs. Once properly installed through the coop wall, the bucket extends through the required opening so the rear access cover can be reached from outside the coop. This setup can make daily egg collection more convenient while keeping the nesting area inside for the hens.
