NEST BOX
Purpose of Chicken Nesting Boxes
The main motive behind making chicken nesting boxes is to help hens to lay their eggs in a clean chamber concerning peace and solitude. Cooltronics nest ensures that eggs are kept in a good atmosphere for collection or laying. A proper nest box in which hens can lay eggs makes things progress more steadily all over the farm.
Best Materials
Cooltronics assures the best materials for chicken nest boxes which are very convenient to clean and sanitize. Like, metal and plastic can be sterilized, polished and brushed. Along with that, these materials don’t soak chicken excretes or products used for cleaning. On the other hand, wooden boxes are easy to manufacture, but a bit difficult to clean.
Hens per Nesting Box
Cooltronics follows the recommendation of chicken specialists who suggest a standard of one nesting box per five birds.
Keeps Other Hens & Predators Out
We keep nest within the chicken house so they can be accessed very easily for egg collecting and regular cleaning. Poultry specialists recommend chicken keepers not to let chickens hatch eggs outside on the ground. There is a thin layer on eggs when they are laid helps safeguard the egg against bacteria. This thin layer is identified by predators and it is very unsafe for hens to hatch their eggs on the ground.
Inside the chicken house, another hen gives less interest in ruining nests which are placed in the darkest areas of the building distanced from the flock activity outside. A piece of the sack over the front of the nest is also a useful barrier. We prevent chickens from doing anything but laying eggs in their chicken nests by chasing them out when we notice they’re lingering.
