Multi-tiered true aviary systems which are fully open, the NATURA Step and Step XL provide full freedom to the bird to move in and out of the equipment at all times. The name NATURA Step comes from the unique steps which are designed to allow easy movement from one tier to another.
The COLONY2+ system is a single-tier open access aviary that features one row of nests in the center of the house, slats on either side, and feeders and drinkers. It is best suitable for smaller flocks, and is popular among some organic egg producers. The COLONY2+ nest with our patented tilting nest floor and central egg belt provides optimal egg quality.
NATURA 60 & 70 are multi-tier select access aviaries which allow birds in and out of the system through defined locations and at selected times. These systems are known and popular for their excellent egg production figures and ease of management.
