Very popular for houses with up to 300 and more layers, we offer a choice of 'semi automatic' nests, the galvanized steel SKA types, and an all plastic modular version.
SKA roll away nests, which have a perforated plastic base for the birds to lay in, are supplied in flat pack kits for two or four individual nests on one tier, or for four, six or ten individual nests on two tiers.
A back gathering option is only available in the two tier, ten hole form, all of the others roll the eggs to the front, where they are protected by a hinged cover.
All have wooden alighting rails for each tier to make it easier and more attractive for the birds.
The most popular, by far, is the two tier, ten hole front gathering set, which is also the most economical.
The nests are usually hung on or fixed to a wall or partition, but a range of support legs for a variety of free standing or back to back positions, is available.
One individual nest serves five layers.
Our all plastic nest is a construction set that can be built into any length and number of tiers and could be assembled with fewer nests on the upper levels than on the lower one, if required.
It is only available in front gathering format, but there is potential to covert to rear gathering if you are resourceful.
Each individual compartment is larger than SKA's version, and many customers report that six birds per nest works well.
Both types are easy to manage and maintain and deliver clean, undamaged eggs to the covered space alongside the comfortable laying area.
