If you are looking at decreasing labour in put for egg collection and reducing floor eggs then you must consider the back to back double Smart Nest system.
The Smart Nest is manufactured from high quality galvanised steel. Inside the nest box a high quality very durable laying pad is used. This pad allows for the egg to gentle roll away into the central egg collection area. Once the hen stands up the egg rolls away meaning your eggs are kept clean. This pad can be removed for cleaning when required.
The special pull out chute at one end of the nest box makes for quick and easy collection of eggs.
The hinged perches also allow you the option of preventing birds entering the nest box at night.
