## Overview

PRECISION PET Chicken Nesting Pads offer a premium 13” x 13” bedding solution made from 100% biodegradable wood shavings sourced from Great Lakes Aspen. Designed to fit most standard nesting boxes, these pads wick moisture away to keep eggs clean and dry while providing a cushioned surface that protects against breakage. Hen-approved for comfort and durability, they simplify coop maintenance and support sustainable farming with easy composting after use.

## Description

Petmate Excelsior Nesting Pads provide a soft surface for hens to lay while helping eggs stay dry, clean, and protected from breakage. The chicken nesting box pads absorb moisture from the surface to the paper lining below, providing a sanitary nesting environment for incubation and harvesting eggs. Compatible with most nesting boxes, these nesting pads feature a soft, flexible material that hens prefer over hard surfaces. By attracting hens to lay in the nest box, these nest pads ensure cushioned protection for eggs and easy egg-gathering in a single place. The excelsior surface holds firm to the backing, allowing hens to easily manipulate their nests while keeping nest boxes tidy. Made of 100% biodegradable materials, the nest pads can be safely composted after use. The package includes 10 nest pads, each measuring 13 by 13 inches. The nesting pads are sustainably sourced from 100% Great Lakes Aspen and made in the USA.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they cleanable?**
A: No, the way they are designed, the moisture from the hens falls through the shavings and is absorbed by a brown paper backing.  The solid waste fall through the shaving too.  You can shake the mat to clean out the solids but eventually you will want to replace the nesting pad.  I replace my nesting pads about every 16 weeks more or less depending on my birds.  I have 24 hens which use 7 nests, but as you know, hens are particular about which nest is the favorite. So that nest pad get replaced as often as 8 weeks.  For me, the convenience is worth the cost.

**Q: what are these pads actually made of?  can they be composted?**
A: They are excelsior with a brown paper backing. I don't compost mine because the excelsior never seems to break down.

**Q: Do the birds eat them?  Has anyone had problems with birds that do eat them?**
A: My birds scratch them up quite a bit,  but I've not seen any indication that they are eating them. They seem to like using them, as they almost never lay outside the boxes.

**Q: Are these able to be composted?**
A: The backing has some qualities that hold the moisture and not sure they would break down properly. I would not compost these. Put them in your burn pit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very thick comfortable nesting mater
*by S***E on October 17, 2025*

This is a great nesting material. Nice and comfortable. Very easy to use and last. Easy to remove as there is a paper backing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My hens love these...
*by J***N on January 5, 2022*

And so do I. The hens like them because they can still fluff them up. I like them because they are easy to replace when needed and the hens can't scratch them out of the box when fluffing them. They last a long time. Much easier than cleaning and replacing straw or hay or wood chips or carpet pads or a dozen other things people use. Here is another tip for the home - chicken ranchers out there...in all the time I have had chickens, the best thing I have ever done is to use sand in the coop instead of hay/straw/woodchips, etc. I buy a couple of tons at a time from the rock/concrete industry. It is super inexpensive and keeps the eggs and the hens cleaner than any other medium. The hens love it. They enjoy a good sand bath. A nice thick bed of sand. I wish I had known decades ago. Shoveling soiled bedding is no fun. Using sand in the house and run and using these nesting pads in the hen boxes will make your hobby much easier and more enjoyable.
