Chicken Laying Nesting Box for Breeder Farm Overview

This product setups integrates egg-collecting platform, laying nest, storage box, and conveying tail portion into one automated nest structure for breeder hens and commercial layers.

You just hook it up to automated egg collecting lines. So your chicken house layout is neat and staff don't have to waste their time wandering the aisles selecting eggs by hand.

Material and Structural Design

Poultry buildings are rich in ammonia and are always damp. The body of the nest is built from zinc-aluminum-magnesium sheet that can withstand this kind of corrosive air significantly longer than simple steel sheets.

The supporting frame is 3mm thick hot-dip galvanised steel which increases the service life of the frame compared to thinner steel sheets.

In the center of the unit is a 5cm raised structure. This little raise allows airflow to circulate beneath the nest, which helps keep temperatures down in hotter months and helps minimise moisture build up around the eggs.

Core Advantages

Lower Egg Breakage Rate

Eggs are softly rolled onto the belt in a buffer type egg rolling arrangement as opposed to dropped or violently slid. If this buffer phase is skipped, eggs are more prone to cracking or pecking damage when they roll straight onto a belt. With this buffer design, the breakage is kept below 0.3% with standard feeding control.

Anti-Broody Nite Lift

After dark, a built-in raising mechanism lifts the nest body. This discourages hens from roosting within the nest overnight, which helps to reduce dirty eggs and faecal build-up, decreasing the need for personnel to wash out nests by hand each morning.

Self-Adjusting Belting

The back of the egg belt automatically adjusts tension and compensates for sideways movement. This maintains the belt centred over extended production shifts, reducing the need for human recalibration and downtime. The open belt design also allows feathers and dried debris to drift away rather than stack up against the shell, which helps keep bacteria levels on the eggshell lower. Without this self-adjusting capability, a belt is more likely to slide or jam, which may require additional downtime for human repairs.

Integrated Modular Construction

The egg-collecting platform, laying nest, storage box and conveyance tail part are all housed in a single unit. It can be connected with most of the automated egg collecting lines without additional adapters, suitable for large-scale standardised chicken coops, one-stop project matching from design to installation.

Lower cost of labour

Automatic egg collecting takes the workers out of the laborious picking. This helps to save labour hours, maintain consistent egg output quality and control expenses during each production cycle for breeder and commercial layer operations.

Motor and Drive System

The conveying system is driven by two motors. The front motor is 0.4 kW and the rear is 0.75 kW providing the belt with sufficient pull for lengthy egg lines without any added strain on either end.

The split motors share the labour along the line so that the eggs travel at a consistent speed from nest to collecting point. If you buy more nest units for a longer chicken house the team may adjust the motor output to the increased length.

Applications

This nest box is sized for commercial laying hen homes, and works equally as well for breeding chickens on big scale poultry farms. The tiny nest body also works well for backyard installations, although the primary design aim is still huge breeding and layer operations.
