Designed around the natural behavior of hens, VAL-CO's Community Nest offers winchable slats providing easy-to-clean, comfortable and easily-accessed nesting for hens. The winchable slat design is a key feature in improving hygiene while saving time and labor in cleaning the nest and recovering drier, higher-quality manure. Waterproof PVC foam board is also used in the nesting area, which creates a more bird-friendly environment, helps ease the cleaning process and improves productivity. Because the Community Nest is easier to clean, it is less likely than conventional designs to harbor disease or parasites.
