Big Dutchman’s line of colony systems is termed AVECH, standing for Adaptable Versatile Enriched Colony Housing. These systems are all about how the birds move freely to create the space they want, or group closely together as a colony. Every enriched colony housing option offers plenty of space for your flock to practice their natural behaviors, such as perching, roaming around, spreading their wings, and preening their feathers.
