PRECISION PET Chicken Nesting Pads (Petmate) – 13x13, 10-Pack, Beige – Made in USA

Overview

PRECISION PET Chicken Nesting Pads by Petmate offer a soft, cushioned surface for hens to lay eggs, while helping eggs stay dry and protected from breakage. Each 13 by 13 inch pad fits most nesting boxes and arrives in a warm beige that blends with common coop interiors. The soft, flexible material is designed to feel comfortable to birds that prefer a gentler underside for laying. The beige shade also blends with wood tones and coarse bedding, creating a calm, familiar feel in the coop.

How they work

The excelsior surface rests on a paper backing that draws moisture away from the nest surface. Moisture travels downward to keep the top layer dry, creating a cleaner surface for freshly laid eggs. The backing helps maintain a sanitary nesting environment for incubation and egg harvesting — without relying on harsh chemicals.

Because the nest pads hold their shape as hens adjust their position, you may notice easier egg gathering and a tidier nest box in practice. The cushioned surface offers gentler support, while still holding its form when birds move around. The surface stays flexible yet sturdy, so it can adapt as hens scratch and settle.

Care and disposal

After use, the pads can be composted where guidelines permit, returning nutrients to the soil as part of sustainable farming or gardening practices. When it is time to replace them, you can swap in fresh pads to maintain a clean nesting environment for your birds. This makes the pads a practical option for seasonal flocks and hobby farmers who value simple maintenance.
