Each 13\" x 13\" pad is flexible enough for hens to shape but sturdy enough to protect eggs from rolling and breaking. Sold in a pack of 10, the pads are made from 100% Great Lakes Aspen and crafted in the USA, then fully compostable for an eco-friendly afterlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these pads keep eggs clean and dry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pads use thin wood shavings on top and an absorbent paper lining underneath to wick moisture away from the shell. That separation helps prevent soiling on the egg surface and reduces dampness inside the nest. Cleaner, drier nests make egg collection and storage easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExcelsior wood-shaving surface draws moisture away from eggs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePaper backing locks in liquid below the surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduced wetness lowers dirt and bacterial buildup on shells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these pads fit my nesting boxes and withstand hen activity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 13\" x 13\", each pad is sized to fit most standard nesting boxes and specific Petmate coop nests. The material is soft for hen comfort yet holds shape so birds can rearrange nesting material without tearing it apart.

Because hens prefer the padded surface over hard floors, eggs are less likely to roll or collide with box edges. This combination of comfort and stability leads to fewer damaged eggs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft wood-shaving top cushions eggs from impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePads conform slightly under weight to prevent rolling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEncourages one laying location to reduce collisions and breakage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens to the pads after use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade entirely from biodegradable Great Lakes Aspen and paper backing, these nesting pads are compostable and can be returned to the soil after serving their purpose.
