We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate straw. The magjo nesting straw is exactly that - it's a simple straw that hits all the right notes. They fit and stay really well in the nesting boxes. They need fluffing up periodically, but work much better than straw or pine shavings. They do peck at the straw and move it around but, these stay in place. They are a bit flat and thin.
It is easy to implement in your coop right out of the box. The eggs have a softer landing, and they stay cleaner. They are much more likely to lay in the nest boxes with these, and they stay in much longer than plain straw.Why We Like This:
- Great option for chicken nest box
- Keeps the smell at bay for quite a long time
- Better than straw and keeps eggs clean

Cackle Hatchery Nesting straw
Buy on Amazon
The cackle hatchery nesting straw should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. It is used for chick brooder homes to provide chicks with stable footing. The only way they will use a nesting box with these pads is if there is a sufficient amount of wood shavings on top of it so they don't know it's there. The three hens that use the one box with this pad leave some clean eggs. They lay more eggs with these pads in place.
It has nice clean nesting boxes, eggs are not sitting on a hard surface and easily broken, they fit perfectly in the boxes, no trimming needed. They don't mess with it and it keeps the eggs clean. The paper backing is a great feature for the chickens.Why We Like This:
- Easy to use and clean up
- New and hot release
