Inside Egg House Maintains Constant Environment
The building lacks windows and uses thermostatic fans and time clock lights to ventilate and illuminate 12 000 pallets in cages. A 13 ton bulk feed bin feeds the system by gravity. The well lit egg room favors the Glick family as pallets in cages reach 50 percent production after six weeks under insulated Masonite siding.
