Providing laying nests for hens is important for the well-being of the birds and the overall success of a poultry farming operation. Here are some important reasons why a farmer should provide laying nests for her hens:

1. Egg protection and quality
2. You get to collect cleaner eggs
3. Reduce egg pecking
4. Simplifies the egg collection process
5. Laying nests provide a private and comfortable space for hens to lay their eggs. This reduces stress and anxiety in the flock, as hens feel more secure and relaxed while laying. Reduced stress levels can lead to improved overall health and egg production.
