  • So Fresh, So Clean: The Aspen Excelsior absorbs moisture as chicken droppings fall through to the attached paper for easy cleanup.
  • Long-Lasting: Use each pad for 6-12 weeks. Made of 100% compostable Sustainable Forestry Initiative Verified, 100% biodegradable Aspen excelsior fibers & backed on kraft paper.
  • USA-made: All nesting pad materials are grown, cut, processed, & hand packed with love in the United States.
  • Biodegradable & All-Natural: Made of Sustainable Forestry Initiative Verified Great Lakes, 100% biodegradable Aspen excelsior fibers & kraft paper.
Instructions for Use

Place one Mile Four Nesting Pad into each 13 x 13 in. nesting box and fluff the fibers to cushion eggs, or trim a pad to fit a different box size. Shake out debris & spot-clean soiled spots weekly to keep a pad usable longer between replacements.

Replace a pad once it looks flattened or soiled, or after about 6 to 12 weeks per nesting box, whichever comes first. 

Available in 10-pack & 40-pack boxes for convenience. Store in a cool, dry place.

Customers praised these pads for keeping eggs clean and reducing breakage. "Easy to clean" and "comfortable for hens" were common themes. Most found them durable and well-fitting. However, some noted concerns about thickness, and a few hens initially refused to use them. Price was mentioned as slightly high.

Not recommended

First day using these nesting pads... went out to collect eggs and one pad had a broken egg. These pads are NOT very thick. I bought a 40 pack!!!

My opinion doesn’t match my hens!

I like the neatness of these mats. However, our hens do not like them. The old hens refuse to lay anything on these. We’ve had to keep shavings in one box and we’re hoping to get our newly introduced hens to use them. I’m still trying to use them.

Hi Shelly! Thanks for your honest feedback! Certain flocks can be picky! We reccommend using our Hemp Bedding as an extra layer of cushion on your Nesting Pads! Hope this helps!

Perfect

I love these! My girls make themselves at home and the eggs are always nice. Replacing them is easy and I just throw it into my compost bin. Will definitely buy again.

So convenient!

20 out of 10!! They fit my nest boxes perfectly. They curl up a tiny bit on the edges but not enough to worry about cutting them. They fluff up SO easily! One tiny pull and done! And how nice to have one thing quick and simple to change out rather then scoop shavings! Highly recommend

SIMPLE, NO Brainer

I liked that they come in this size as it is just what I want for my size coop. So light! And they do not make a mess..... also I use them longer ... meaning more days than I thought as they are well put together and my chickens love them... Price is perfect and I love buying from a small business owner.
