There is a plastic carpet placed on top of a tilted wire frame. The wire frame creates an area for the hens to nest on as well as a gentle slope that causes the eggs to roll out into the egg collection area. Assuming 10 hens per Henspa, each hen has over 13 inches of roosting room. Light and Timer There are two times when you may need light in your Henspa. During the winter.
Hens produce better if they have more daylight.
On shorter days use the timer to start the day earlier. Baby chicks need warmth in the first few weeks of life. They need 90 degrees the first day of arrival, and decreasing amounts after that. The light provides the warmth they need. Just plug in an extension cord.
