FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

How many hens can I have per laying house?

The number of hens in the flock determines the required capacity of the collective nesting box.

The laying area is regulated by law: when the flock exceeds 350 hens or if it’s organic farming, a minimum of one m2 for 120 hens is required for a collective nesting box.

Which conception materials are best?

For collective nesting boxes in particular, wood offers the advantage of comfort. However, the problem with wood is that it is difficult to clean and can be infested, particularly by red lice. We therefore recommend using plastic or galvanised steel collective nesting boxes. Both materials are easy to clean. Steel is stronger and more durable.

Does the collective nesting box have a practical and hygienic egg collection system?

The collective nesting box is equipped with an AstroTurf mat, ideal for laying eggs. The shape of the mat gently slows down the eggs. It’s hygienic, easy to clean and keeps the eggs clean and free from infestation. The hens find it very comfortable, which improves their laying rate. The eggs are collected from the back of the nest in a tray that is inaccessible to the hens.
