Special characteristics of the NATURA Sunrise are its central egg belt and the divided tilting nest floor. Before the the NATURA Sunrise nest is closed at night, all eggs can roll off backwards onto the egg belt. This prevents eggs from remaining in the nest, locks out hens trying to sleep in the nest and thus soiling it, or brooding inside. Moreover, the daily dust drops off the nest insert resulting in good nest hygiene.
The NATURA Sunrise shares the same open environment design, and the same innovative nest as the COLONY2+ with a central egg belt and patented tilting nest floor. Above the nest is an area for more perch and floor space for your flock to roost and relax.
To keep eggs clean and safe the NATURA Sunrise includes our patented approach perch. This approach perch holds the rare mis-laid egg with a protective covering until someone easily collects them while walking the house.
Where this system is unique from the COLONY2+ is the use of manure belts, which carries the manure out of the house to maintain a cleaner house, resulting in lower ammonia levels, and better quality air in the house. Another unique design of this system is in its construction. Everything from feeding, watering, and perching is self supported, so there is nothing hanging from the ceiling.
