Compact aviary that fits any type of building. The PRO 10 layer aviary was developed as a result of the many years of experience we made with hens in organic, free-range and floor housing systems. We wanted to develop an aviary that guarantees easy and safe handling for both the producer and the birds. The resulting PRO 10 aviary for laying hens is equipped with system egg belts and features a special nest design. All tiers have identical accessories, which further simplifies handling and management. Thanks to its compact design the PRO 10 can be installed in new buildings and old buildings without much additional effort.

Compact aviary that fits any type of building. Our PRO 10 aviary is the result of our many years of experience in cage-free and organic egg production. The special system egg belts as well as the special nest design and identical equipment on all tiers guarantee easy handling for producers and hens. Its low and compact design also makes the PRO 10 interesting for existing buildings.

Our flexible bestseller for sustainable and cage-free egg production. The PRO 11 was developed with the need for an individual, customizable system in mind. It can be adapted to meet virtually any customer requirement, which makes it a very flexible solution. It is also particularly suited for higher stocking densities and the nest depth can be adapted. In addition to having all the advantages of the PRO 10, the PRO 11 can be equipped with many different nest types and also with system egg belts.

More space, more hens, more eggs. An additional variant of our proven PRO 11 laying aviary is the PRO 11 xxl. With a system width of 3.0 m (9.8 ft) and an extra-wide egg belt, this aviary provides more usable area and more egg belt surface per bird than the standard variant. In addition to a higher stocking density this also provides the producer with more flexibility with regard to the collection of eggs.

High laying perfomance under optimal animal welfare conditions. The enriched colony cages type NF have the laying nest placed at the front and give the eggs an extremely short way to the safety of the egg channel. Needless to say that these models comply with all regulations and offer birds the so called 5 freedoms. This model comes with solid or wire partitions, with or without manure drying and several options or features that can be chosen or left out, depending on local established interpretations of regulations. The height of the cages also reduces the risk of coccidiosis, as there is less contact of hens with the manure belt of the superior tier.

High laying performance and optimal animal welfare. As the regulations with regard to animal welfare and possible enrichments vary, there are different types of enriched cages available. The type of enriched cage should be selected based on the regional applicable regulations as the layout and characteristics of the installed enrichments play a decisive role for the health of the hens, the cleanliness of the cage and the egg quality.

The versatile system for sustainable egg production. The enrichable cage system developed by Hellmann Poultry has all the advantages of our traditional laying cage, including its versatility with regard to different climate zones, but it is already prepared for future enrichment with nests, perches and scratching areas. This way it can simply be upgraded in line with local legal requirements and welfare guidelines. The individual compartments are higher and provide the hens with more space. And in the same manner as the traditional cages, the enrichable version can be equipped with additional features such as the Egg Saver system, stepping rails, different types of inspection carts, manure drying etc. This allows you to increase the well-being of your hens without losing any of the productivity of traditional cage production systems.

The aviary rearing system that grows with your pullets. The PRO Motion is a well thought-out rearing aviary for the rearing of pullets. Thanks to the differently designed, freely accessible floors, the pullets will train inside the aviary from the very beginning. They remain longer in the system and are thus well-prepared for an optimal start in floor, free-range or organic egg production. Lockable drinkers allow for targeted water training to familiarize the birds with all tiers, especially in the beginning. Less movement in the house area also results in fewer emissions, which has a positive effect on the health of the pullets.

The budget-friendly starter aviary. The PRO Pullet is our proven and long-selling rearing aviary. With the same layout of equipment on all levels, the birds find their way around the aviary very quickly. The PRO Pullet is available in different widths to achieve the best possible stocking density for any barn floor plan. Fold-out platforms allow the birds to fly to the different tiers which prepares them optimally for floor, free-range or organic egg production conditions. Easy-to-operate sliding doors and sensibly arranged partitions simplify the moving-in and /-out of the birds.

Ideal rearing conditions for uniform pullets. The Hellmann Poultry rearing cage was designed with a focus on providing a reliable and easy to manage rearing system for the production of healthy and uniform pullets. Our rearing cage is available in several different depths and with different types of partitions so that it can be adapted to most barn situations and climate zones. The rearing system can be equipped with starter and grower tiers and other features such as a retractable water line and additional air ducts to provide optimal conditions for the chicks at every stage of growth. The compact design provides the producer with a very good overview of the birds and the equipment and the large folding doors facilitate moving the birds in and out of the compartment.
