Simple hand-gathering nest for smaller houses

Simplicity perfected with the manual nest with deep litter flooring and easy hand gathering. Track-and-carry trolley system for the hatching eggs is also installed in the house for convenient and safe egg collection.

Nipple drinkers and chain feeding lines (suspended or standing) are installed at both long sides of the house for the hens. Optionally, male feeding can be done separately, with their feeding and drinking systems situated centrally between the nest rows to encourage healthy mating activities.

We will plan and design the house that creates the best Breeder environment to meet your requirements. We ensure that all aspects of breeding are integrated, synchronised seamlessly by utilising quality equipment, buildings and innovative technology so that you can have a successful breeder operation with production flow to meet your day-old chick demand.
