Colony 2+ is an entirly new design of an automatic group laying nest, which is particularly suitable for broiler and layer breeders as well as for layers.

Special characteristics of this automatic nest are it central egg belt and the divided titlting nest floor. Before the nest is closed at night, all eggs can roll off backwards onto the belt. This prevents eggs from remaining in the nest, locks out hens trying to sleep in the nest and thus soiling it, or brooding inside. Moreover, the daily dust drops off the nest insert resulting in good nest hygiene.

Depending on the circumstances in the house, Colony 2+ is available as wall mounted or as double nest with one or two tiers. The nest is made of waterproof film-coated wooden panels, galvanized sheet metal profiles and stainless steel posts, making the Colony 2+ very hygienic and extremely rugged.
