The ROVA|BARN helps increase productivity, whether in a rural setting or on an acreage.
Self-moving
Forget the hard labour, the ROVA does the heavy lifting for you. She moves every day by herself to provide fresh grass and bedding to your chickens.
Automatic Feeding & Watering
Up to 7-day of feed and water storage capacity, the automatic feeding system parameters can be easily set on the mobile app. Farmers can choose the frequency and quantity of feed dispensed depending on the age of the birds.
Intelligent Ventilation System
You can set the optimal temperature inside ROVA via the mobile app. The flap walls can open and close depending on the inside and outside temperature and weather conditions so the chickens can be comfortable and happy at all times.
Predator Proofing
The flexible skirt is electrified, keeping the predators at bay and allowing the chickens to graze peacefully. Uneven terrain is no match for this skirt - it will adapt to most pastures.
Maintain focus on the comfort and well-being of your animals.
If you are looking for simplicity, absolute control and a more natural way of raising your poultry or other grazing livestock, the ROVA series is for you. This all-in-one machine will be able to brood your chicks, walk your chickens, collect your eggs and much more!
Are there different sizes of the ROVA|BARN?
Since one size does not fit all, we offer three different sizes of ROVA|BARN, plus optional feed and brooder additions. Sizes include 200, 400 and 700 sq. ft capacity models of the ROVA|BARN.

How can a ROVA|BARN protect my livestock from predators?

What types of animals can I raise in the ROVA|BARN?
The ROVA|BARN is suitable for poultry (broilers, layers and large birds) as well as pigs (growing pigs and sows) and sheep. We offer a brooding attachment for broilers and an automatic nesting box attachment for layers. Both can be installed and removed depending on which animal you want to raise.
Can I use the ROVA|BARN in winter?
Yes! If you want to raise your animals (layers, pigs or sheep) during winter, we offer a winterization package to heat the water tanks and the water lines.
Note: The ROVA|BARN should be plugged to a power source due to the amount of energy that takes to heat.
Do I need to be a chicken farmer to use a ROVA|BARN?
No, we have built the ROVA|BARN so anyone can raise their own animals. Our mobile app is designed to give detailed instructions on using the ROVA|BARN and raise poultry. The live camera feed can be shared with a local veterinarian to assist you in the event of an emergency.
How much time does it take to assemble a ROVA|BARN?
We believe in simplicity; it should take no more than half a day for two people to assemble a ROVA|BARN depending on the model and the accessories. Once assembled, follow the mobile app’s steps to get the ROVA|BARN ready for your animals.
