Use of Shenandoah's Side-Belt Nest System Provides These Benefits:
Easy Management
- Tops are hinged to facilitate training the hens not to roost in the nests.
- In the event of a power outage, egg tray covers are hinged for easy opening to allow eggs to be hand gathered.
- Installs easily on existing 12-foot (3.7 m) or wider slats reducing conversion time.
