What Is an Automatic Laying Nest for Chicken?

A product is a mechanical nest system created for the purpose of collecting eggs without manual picking. It replaces open floor nests with a structured unit comprising a laying chamber, conveying belt and storage platform.

Hens walk into the nest to lay and eggs gently roll onto a moving belt. The belt transports the eggs to a collection station, limiting touch and breaking along the route.

This automatic laying nest for chickens is suitable for commercial laying hen homes and breeding hen enterprises. This is for big, standardised farms that need consistent repeatability of egg processing.

Specifications

These numbers come from standard installation and normal feeding management conditions. Farms with different flock sizes can request adjusted unit counts to match their housing layout.

Core Advantages

It breaks a few eggs. A buffer anti-breakage egg rolling structure allows for the gentle, smooth movement of eggs on the belt, helping to reduce cracked shells and pecking damage during collection.

Designed to inhibit brooding and perching. At nite an automatic lifting mechanism lifts the nest body up so that the hens cannot roost within. This prevents droppings from reaching the nest floor and results in cleaner eggs.

Self-adjusting conveyor belt. The back end of the belt allows for real-time tension adjustment and automatic deviation correction, so that the belt runs straight during lengthy shifts and reduces stoppages.

Integrated module design. It combines egg-collecting platform, laying nest, storage box and transporting tail in one. It can be directly connected with automatic egg collection lines to facilitate one-stop project planning in large hen farms.

Reduce labour costs. Jobs done manually by workers are taken over by automatic egg collection. This saves labour hours and helps in more consistent egg handling for commercial breeding programs.

Material and Structural Design

The nest body is constructed from zinc-aluminum-magnesium plate, which resists moisture and regular wear and tear within poultry houses, providing you with guaranteed corrosion resistance in humid barn circumstances.

We also employ a 3mm extra thick hot-dip galvanised steel frame and 5cm elevated center structure in Huabang’s wider range of equipment to support ventilation to help keep nest regions cooler during warm seasons in associated housing systems.

The internal nest is 1.19m x 0.4m so there is plenty of area for the hens to settle without feeling cramped. The whole device is 2m high with the perch attached so the hens have a clear location to step up before they enter the nest.

Applications

This automatic laying nest for chickens is ideal for industrial laying hen farms with big bird counts in numerous rows. It also works for breeder hen enterprises that require regular, traceable handling of eggs.

The identical nest box can also be used in backyards and on small-scale farms. Its small footprint and reasonable weight of 40kg each set also make it suitable outside of industrial-scale barns.

This nest box docks right into that configuration for farms that are planning automatic egg collection lines. It is useful for standard hen houses that desire one flow from laying to storing.
