Chicken Nesting Pads by My Favorite Chicken™ – with Aromatic Nest Herbs!

Excelsior nest pads are easy to install, are completely natural and biodegradable.

Excelsior poultry pads are manufactured from Great Lakes aspen excelsior fibers and brown kraft paper.

Excelsior nest pads help to provide cleaner, fresher, better quality and more hatchable eggs. They are economical, easy to place in the laying nests and help in faster egg gathering. The eggs are on top, clean and fresh rather than having to hunt and dig for eggs as with some other products. They also draw moisture from droppings which drop to the paper below, out of the area in which the eggs are laid.

Naturally moisture absorbing, which creates a dry, sanitary nesting surface for eggs.

Organic, Non-GMO Nest Herbs

We’ve taken extra steps to ensure the comfort of your laying hens by adding a blend of aromatherapy of essential botanicals.

Organic Lemon Verbena, Organic Calendula, Organic Chamomile, Organic Echinacea, Organic Lavender, Organic Lemon Balm, Organic Spearmint, Organic Rose Buds/Petals

This colorful bouquet of aromatic, organic herbs, and edible flowers has been selected for your chickens’ coop and nesting areas to create a calm, fresh smelling, and restful place to lay their eggs. The pleasant aromatics and essential oils in various botanicals are inviting for hens and humans. This blend does not contain artificial scents, colors, or preservatives.

To freshen up between pad changes, we also offer a 6oz bag of the nest herbs.

Spoil your flock!

Why choose The Chicken Coop Company?

Materials

Wood: Fir - the same wood most houses are made of. It is resilient against insects and weather while being light enough for an enjoyable assembly experience. Many other alternatives like Cedar split too easily or are too heavy. After 9 years of using Fir, it has proven to be the ideal material.

Top Quality Construction

Quality Hardware, Tongue and Groove panels and more.

Easy to Assemble

Your chicken Run has been pre-assembled in flat panels that simply need to be bolted together with a screwdriver and wrench. All cutting, gluing, stapling, finishing, and hardware installation have already been done for you. Enjoy!

Well Engineered

Structural Reinforcements, Quality Hardware, Purpose-Built Accessories and More.  The difference is in the details...

Replacement Parts

Protect your investment with easy access to replacement parts. We want your flock to have a long happy life in their home and your investment to last as long as possible. Parts can be ordered by contacting customer service.

Easy Run Access with 2 Doors!

With a full door at the end of the run and a half panel on the side, you can easily access your run from wherever you need to. Convenience is beautiful.

Fast Delivery

We’ll ship your new Run directly to your door using FedEx to get it to you as quickly as possible usually in 3 to 5 days or less.
Assembly instructional video

Note: We have since added additional doors below each nesting box as well as to the end panel of the run

A few additional points to consider:
You are sure to love the doors under each nesting box for easy access to the space under the hen house. This allows for easy cleaning and for letting the girls in and out. The run has a door panel and on the runs end panel half the panel is a door. This makes cleaning the run a cinch and helps in free ranging. 
Chicken coop with a run extension has flashing above the nesting box roof lids to prevent water from running into the nesting box
Carabiners and other hardware are heavy duty stainless steel
Easy to clean pull out tray to catch their waste and keep things clean
Our amazing coop has multiple vents providing important airflow in the chicken house
Each panel has four additional diagonal wooden support pieces
We sell hen houses and runs separately allowing you to customize and expand your set up 
Run extension/support under each nesting box (without support the nesting boxes sag and quickly fall apart
EVERY piece is labeled and our instructions are thorough and written by us =) 
THICK nest box dividers (twice the thickness of most other coops)
Well constructed ladder
Acrylic sliding window rather than wood which can shrink or expand and make it difficult to open the windows/vents
Hard plastic liner under all roof panels for durability and weatherproofing
We use strong chicken wire mesh (twice as thick as most other coops) with small holes to keep predators out 
We use heavy duty hardware (Ajustlock bolt latches!)

The original Rhode Island Homestead Chicken Coop is solid! 

One of the things you will notice is that our chicken run EXTENDS under each nesting box. More than providing additional space for your hens, this is CRITICAL as it gives support for the nesting box (this may seem minor, however, without the support the nesting boxes will sag after a short period of time).

In the picture below you can see the coop size difference between the Rhode Island Homestead XL and the Orpington Lodge. Very similar design just different in size.

Keep in mind, you can purchase additional run extensions and additional hen houses if you would like to expand and customize your coop space!
