Key Advantages of This Automatic Nest Box

This breeder chicken nesting box has some design elements suitable for large-scale operations. The nest box employs a buffer anti-breakage egg rolling construction, which makes the eggs softly roll to the belt instead of falling or colliding with each other, and the egg breakage rate is less than 0.3% in normal operation.

The built-in elevating mechanism elevates the nest body during the nite. This prevents chickens from sitting on the nest overnight and helps keep eggs clean from droppings.

The rear belt portion provides self-regulation of tension and deviation correction, helping to maintain the belt running straight during long shifts and minimising the need for manual calibration.

The laying nest, storage box, egg platform and tail structure are integrated into one piece, and can be directly connected to automatic egg collection lines, which is suitable for big commercial breeder houses requiring one-stop project matching.

Automatic egg collecting removes the need for human picking across the chicken coop and can assist minimise labour hours and handling damage over time.

Material and Structural Design

The structure is made of 3mm hot galvanised steel that does not corrode in damp chicken houses. The body of the nest is composed of zinc aluminium magnesium plate, a material highly resistant to corrosion. The breeder chicken nesting box can last for up to 15 years thanks to these materials together.

The core structure of the design is lifted 5cm. This little elevation lets more air under the nest and helps to keep it cooler in hot seasons. The better air movement also helps to prevent moisture build up around the eggs.
