The Chickenwagon 100 is the innovative Mobile Chickenwagon, designed to provide your laying hens with optimal comfort and safety, while benefiting from maximum flexibility and ease of use.
Thanks to its compact size and four wide grass tires, the cart is easy to move with a (small) agricultural vehicle. The pressure distribution on the land is optimal, making the Chickenwagon 100 usable on various surfaces. In contrast to most other models, a tractor with hydraulics is not required for movement.
On the inside of the Chickenwagon 100 are the perches, feed barrels, drinking nipples and access to the laying nests. The cart has a raised slatted floor with plastic grates, on which the perches are placed. Because chickens produce about 80% of their manure while roosting, it falls down through the grates and can be easily removed manually about once a month.
Optional convenient additions are available such as a manure drawer or manure valve.
In addition, loading bins are available that regulate the climate inside; these can be opened and closed manually. Optionally, a fan can be added for extra air circulation for a pleasant indoor climate. For additional air circulation, a fan with temperature sensor is available as an option. An automatic exit door opens in the morning and closes automatically at sunset, keeping chickens safely inside.
The water supply is good for a week and easily refilled from the outside of the cart. The nipple line with adjustable water pressure provides clean drinking water that is efficiently distributed through the cart. Thanks to the closed system and limited light, algae growth is kept to a minimum.
Once a laying hen lays an egg, the egg rolls out from the laying nest under soft flaps, keeping it well protected. The insulated laying nest of the Chickenwagon 100 is mounted on the outside, allowing eggs to be easily removed from the outside and packed into trays or boxes. The laying nest is equipped with an automatic exit mesh, which closes at the end of the afternoon and opens again in the morning. This prevents hens from sleeping in the nests at night. This contributes to hygiene and ensures clean eggs.
On the roof are solar panels that provide power for all electrical equipment. These solar panels are supported by a battery, making the Chickenwagon 100 almost completely self-sufficient in electricity.
The Chickenwagon 100 features a modern control box with an integrated PLC system. This central control unit gives you full control over all automatic functions within the cart, keeping management simple and clear. Via a clear display, you effortlessly set the times for LED lighting, opening and closing of the exit door, laying nest extrusion system, ventilation, etc. The water level is also continuously monitored and can be easily read on the cabinet. This control cabinet ensures the comfort and well-being of the laying hens. The control cabinet is user-friendly and designed for optimum reliability.
Thanks to careful sealing of seams and cracks, blood lice hardly have a chance to succeed. The Chickenwagon is constructed of high-quality sandwich panels and finished with a steel wood look, providing a warm appearance without sacrificing durability and abrasion resistance.
