Nesting Pads

Chickens lay eggs frequently, as often as every 24 to 36 hours in their peak production years. As a chicken farmer, it’s best to provide your birds with a comfortable place to lay their eggs, such as nesting pads. Offering a wide range of poultry products, including nesting pads, Tractor Supply is here to help you raise your chickens.

Provide a Comfortable Surface for Egg-Laying

Nesting pads are ideal for providing chickens with a cushioned place to lay their eggs, protecting them from breakage and preventing stress on your birds. As America’s largest rural lifestyle retailer, we make it easy to get everything you need for raising chickens and poultry, including nesting pads that are:

Made for Several Poultry Types

Our nesting pads can be used by chickens and other poultry. Whether you only raise hens that lay eggs, or you have other poultry such as quail or ducks that also produce eggs, you’ll find nesting pads for them in our selection. Some options are made specifically for use by chickens, while others are suitable for all poultry.

Packed with Convenient Features

Nesting pads are available with features that make your life easier and help keep your chickens relaxed. Pests and insects can cause stress to chickens, so keep them at bay with pest control nesting pads that fend off mites and flying insects.

To keep nesting boxes dry and comfortable, opt for nesting pads that are absorbent for moisture control. Keep your nesting boxes as clean as possible with odor-neutralizing and mold- and mildew-resistant pads that prevent bad smells and fungus growth. For farmers who prefer all-natural products for their chickens, biodegradable pads or those made with no artificial ingredients are ideal.

Comprised of Comfortable Materials

Our assortment of nesting pads features designs made of comfortable materials that keep your chickens cushioned and stress-free during egg-laying. If you prefer a natural option, explore pads made with natural fibers, unbleached paper or wood wool. For a nesting pad that can be washed and reused, consider polyethylene pads that are easy to hose down.

Available in Several Pad Quantities

Whether your flock includes several chickens or just a few, our nesting pads come in multiple quantities so you can stock up on the right amount. For owners of a lot of chickens, explore our packs of 40 pads. For a few birds, packs of six, 10 and 12 are often sufficient.

How do nesting pads benefit eggs?

Nesting pads help benefit eggs by preventing them from breaking and keeping them cleaner than other substitutes such as straw or litter.
