Side-Belt Nest Systems for Breeders
Easy Management
- Nest lids are hinged to facilitate training the hens not to roost in the nests.
- In the event of a power outage, egg tray covers are hinged for easy access for hand gathering eggs.
- Installs easily on existing 12-foot (3.7 m) or wider slats.
Improved Delivery and Assembly Features
