The Toriexon nesting box is a wall-mountable galvanized steel laying station available in 6 and 10-compartment configurations. It suits backyard flock keepers and small poultry operations who want a metal nesting solution with removable dividers and included nest pads for easier cleaning and egg collection.
Assembly takes time and requires attention to sharp metal edges, so handle panels carefully and wear gloves during the build.

Organized Egg Collection for Flocks of 15 to 30 Hens
If you are managing a mid-size backyard flock and need a structured, compartmentalized nesting setup that keeps egg collection organized and cleaning manageable, the Toriexon unit fits that use case.
The separate compartments reduce competition between hens at peak laying times, and the removable divider gives you flexibility to open up space if you are keeping larger breeds or want to reconfigure the layout. The included nest pad provides a base layer of cushioning without requiring you to source bedding separately before setup.
Wall mounting keeps the unit off the floor, which simplifies cleaning the coop below it and protects eggs from ground-level disturbance.
What to Expect from the Toriexon Nesting Box in Real Use
Once assembled and mounted, the unit is solid and holds up well under daily flock use. A 6-compartment box has handled a flock of 21 chickens without issue, and hens take to the boxes readily after installation.
The separate compartments keep egg collection straightforward and the metal construction wipes down cleanly between uses.
Assembly takes more time than basic metal nesting boxes and benefits from a second set of hands. The construction is sturdy once together, but the process itself requires patience with hardware alignment. Metal edges are sharp during assembly, so gloves are recommended throughout the build.
The compartments are sized for standard laying breeds and accommodate most common backyard hens comfortably. Larger or heavier breeds can manage but may find the space tighter than ideal. The removable divider adds useful flexibility if you want to adjust compartment size for bigger birds.
The green finish is consistent across units and suits most coop aesthetics without standing out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many hens can the Toriexon 6-compartment nesting box support?
A general guideline for laying box ratios is one compartment for every four to five hens. The 6-compartment version supports flocks of roughly 20 to 30 hens under that rule, and real-world use confirms it functions well for flocks in that range. If your flock is larger, the 10-compartment version extends that capacity accordingly.
Does the Toriexon nesting box come with nesting material or pads?
Yes, a nest pad is included with the unit. This gives you a base layer of cushioning in each compartment without needing to source bedding separately before your first use. Adding additional straw or nesting material on top of the pad is optional but can improve comfort for hens and help absorb moisture between cleanings.
Can the Toriexon nesting box be used freestanding or does it need to be wall-mounted?
The unit is designed for wall mounting, which is the most stable configuration and the approach that keeps it secure under the weight and movement of active hens. Wall mounting also raises the unit off the coop floor, making it easier to clean beneath and protecting stored eggs from ground-level contact. If your coop wall construction does not support mounting, ensure any freestanding alternative provides a stable, level base to prevent tipping.
