Big Dutchman products

Flexible setting up, an option for each house type. To improve the hygiene inside the house, part of the house should be used as manure pit and equipped with slats (where possible made of plastic). While the birds are inside the house, droppings can be stored and removed after each batch. The correct design (width and height) of the manure pit is especially important to make sure that the hens can easily reach the nest when they leave the litter area via the manure pit.

The group laying nest with divided roof and nest locking mechanism. Relax is a group laying nest which has been newly developed by Big Dutchman especially for broiler breeders. The back wall automatically closes the nest after the laying period. This ensures that the nest remains clean and that the hens do not brood there. The almost screwless snap-on system allows for quick and easy assembly.

NXB is a single laying nest for broiler breeders. Each hen can use a separate nest hole to lay her eggs without being disturbed. The partitions between the holes are made of plastic and can be opened subsequently. The perforated nest insert is self-cleaning and easy to assemble and disassemble. The nest roof is made of metal and allows for easy access to the egg belt for monitoring purposes. A locking tube closes all nest holes for the night, ensuring that the hens cannot brood inside the nest.

Colony 2+ is a nest also suitable for broiler breeders and characterised by its divided tilting floor. Before the nest is closed at night, all eggs can roll off back­wards onto the egg belt. This prevents eggs from remaining in the nest and locks out hens trying to sleep in the nest. Moreover, the daily dust drops off the nest insert, increasing nest hygiene.
