Eaton Pet and Pasture Premium Laying Hen Nesting Pads 13x13 10-Pack — USA Grown Aspen, Moisture-Wicking Cushioned Pads

Eaton Pet and Pasture Premium Laying Hen Nesting Pads are 13" x 13" eco-friendly aspen pads sold in a 10-pack to give hens a softer, drier place to lay eggs.

These nesting pads are made from sustainably harvested USA aspen excelsior and are hand-packed to ensure consistent quality. Designed for backyard flocks and small farms, the pads cushion eggs, wick moisture, and simplify coop maintenance without chemicals or synthetic fillers. They fit standard nest boxes and are sized to help reduce breakage while keeping nests cleaner between bedding changes.

How do these pads protect eggs and reduce breakage?

The soft, springy aspen fibers create a gentle cushion that spreads weight and prevents eggs from rolling into hard surfaces. The resilient texture also returns to shape after hens settle, maintaining protective loft through daily use. That reduces cracked shells and keeps eggs cleaner for easier collection.

• 13 x 13 inch dimension fits most nest box openings.
• Soft aspen excelsior absorbs shock and cushions eggs.
• Lofty fibers resist compaction for longer-lasting protection.
• Helps keep eggs stationary to limit rolling and collisions.

Will these nests help keep the coop drier and cleaner?

Aspen naturally absorbs moisture and channels it away from the nest surface, where it transfers to the kraft backing. That reduces dampness right where hens sit, lowers odours, and slows the buildup of soiling compared with bare boxes. Because the pads are disposable and compact, they make spot-cleaning and seasonal cleanouts faster.

• Moisture-wicking fibers draw wetness to the paper base.
• Disposable design simplifies nest maintenance and sanitation.
• Helps reduce bedding changes and cleaning frequency.
• Sustainable material avoids synthetic moisture traps.

How easy are these pads to use and replace?

Each pad arrives ready-to-use in a hand-packed set of ten; lay them flat in the nest and replace as needed. Their uniform size and flexible fibers let them conform to corners and shallow nests while remaining easy to lift out when soiled. Lightweight packaging and a compact form make storage and carrying into the coop straightforward.

• Comes in a 10-pack for multiple nests or longer intervals between purchases.
• Simple lift-and-replace routine—no trimming required.
• Lightweight pads stored easily in small spaces.
• Hand-packed quality control checks consistency of each pad.

Are these pads environmentally responsible and safe for hens?

The pads are made from 100% sustainably harvested aspen excelsior sourced in the USA and use kraft paper backing—no chemical coatings or synthetic fillers. Aspen is an inert, low-dust wood fiber that reduces dust exposure compared with some other materials, and the pads are biodegradable when disposed of according to local composting or waste guidelines.

• Sustainably harvested USA aspen content.
• Biodegradable natural fibers and kraft paper backing.
• No added chemicals or synthetic batting.
• Lower-dust option suitable for sensitive flocks.

Who is this for: These nesting pads are aimed at backyard chicken keepers, small-scale farmers, and anyone who wants an easy, eco-aware way to give laying hens a cleaner, softer nest. They work well for mixed flocks, broody hens that still need cushion, and anyone seeking a low-maintenance alternative to loose shavings or straw. If you need standardized, disposable nest liners that reduce breakage, wick moisture, and come from sustainable US wood sources, Eaton Pet and Pasture’s 13 x 13 10-pack is a practical choice.
