Mobile hen houses are growing in popularity. They offer plenty of benefits – because mobile hen houses are regularly moved around the field or pasture and thus provide the hens with a constant supply of fresh grass. Furthermore, this repositioning prevents the grass from getting too short and the ground becoming overfertilised, which can lead to contamination of the groundwater. There is also less opportunity for germs to breed, which in turn reduces the need for medical intervention.
Mobile hen houses offer full autonomy
Mobile hen houses such as the SPECHT Mobile Stall Type 540 can be flexibly moved and repositioned. The mobile stall has been designed to house approx. 540 animals, forms an autonomous unit and offers automatic operation with the latest computer control (CLK8) for a fully automatic supply of water, opening of the nest flaps, turnout hatches in the side wall and egg belts. A chain feeding system with direct drive supplies the feed, while the fodder silo has a feed spiral for simple filling. The water tank holds approx. 450 litres. The lighting in the first floor can be dimmed, facilitating the natural biorhythm of the laying hens with waking and resting phases. The generous ventilation concept using both fans and fresh air valves, along with the stall windows, creates a pleasant atmosphere and ensures the laying hens are kept appropriately. The two metal steps into the stall and egg room are easy to clean, further steps lead from the stall to the optionally available winter garden.
