SAFE AND PRIVATE:Laying hens prefer a nest that feels safe and private. Chicken Nest Box Curtains are used for chicken owners, providing a more private and secluded spot for chickens to lay their eggs.
DISCOURAGE MULTITLE BROODIES: Curtains can help discourage multiple broodies, since the instinct to go broody is often triggered by seeing another hen sitting on a nest. Blocking the view of one broody prevents the hormone to sit being aroused in other hens.
PREVENT EGG EATING: Curtains can help prevent egg eating by the hens. ‘Out of sight, out of mind’ prevents others from passing by and spying a tempting egg in the box.
KEEP WARM: Curtains help retain heat in the nesting boxes helping both to prevent cracked or frozen chicken eggs and to retain a broody’s body heat if she’s setting eggs in the colder months, thereby making it easier for her to keep the eggs (eventually the chicks) warm.
BEST GIFT: Curtains are pretty. It is the best gift for chicken owners to decorate their chicken nesting boxes.
