Poultry Farm Nesting Equipment: Automatic Chicken Nest Box for Commercial Layer Houses with Low Egg Breakage

Shandong Huabang Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Machinery was established in 2012 and has been manufacturing livestock equipment. The company sends its poultry farm nesting equipment to poultry farms in over 100 countries under the Huabang Smart brand. This mechanical chicken nest box is made of zinc-aluminum-magnesium plate, the body is 1.2m long and 1.4m wide, the length is 1.88m with perch, and the height is 2m in total. Each unit weighs 40 kg, can accommodate roughly 120 hens and keeps egg breakage below 0.3% when installed according to normal procedures, with the load supported by a 3mm hot-dip galvanised steel frame.

Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium Plate Body and Steel Frame

The nest body is composed of zinc-aluminum-magnesium plate, a coated steel that stands up well in moist, ammonia-laden laying homes. The frame is made of 3 mm extra-thick hot-dip galvanised steel which keeps the structure sturdy as hens use the perch line. The floor of the nest is raised 5 cm from the ground to allow air to circulate below and assist keep the house cooler in summer. Each unit is free standing on the floor, with an overall height of 2 m, so no pit, hanging brackets or roof cutting is required.

Poultry Farm Nesting Equipment Specifications

Key specifications for this product are listed below.

The collection platform is a separate 2.13 m by 0.8 m table, so plan aisle space at the end of each row. The 40 kg per-set weight rests on the floor rather than on the house frame.

Egg Rolling Design That Keeps Shells Intact

The nest floor lies directly under a buffer anti-breakage structure. This allows eggs to leave the nest slowly and transfer to the belt without jolting, therefore limiting cracks and pecking damage. Nesting boxes without a buffer layer can be more damaged as the flock settles down. Proper installation and appropriate feeding management will make the breakage of this poultry farm nesting equipment less than 0.3%.

Anti-Broody Lifting Mechanism

The built in anti-broody lift lifts the nest body at nite, so hens can not settle in the box overnight. It prevents droppings from the nest and allows eggs to come off the belt cleaner, which reduces checks and cleaning time at nite.

Belt Tension and Deviation Control

The rear end of the egg belt allows real-time tension adjustment and automatic deviation correction. The belt stays centered through continuous running, helping avoid the slipping and jamming that can halt a collection line.

Modular Structure for Automated Collection Lines

The egg collection platform, laying nest, storage box and conveying tail are delivered as a complete integrated unit so it is easy to attach this product to the automatic egg collection lines that are currently running in your house. The large standardised layer houses can adapt the layout to current equipment and the team can help to plan the balance of the row.

Sizing a House: How Many Sets You Need

Capacity is about 120 hens per set so split your flock size by 120 for a starting figure; a 3,000 hen house needs about 25 sets before adding spares. Footprint is also important. Each set is 1.2 m by 1.4 m, increasing to 1.88 m when the perch is added. The collection platform adds 2.13 m by 0.8 m at the row end. Draw your house and submit it, and the team will send back a list of configurations.

Labor, Cleanliness and Daily Returns

Automatic collection reduces the hand-picking work in a layer house, since eggs move from nest to platform without a worker walking the row, and cleaner shells mean fewer downgrades at grading. Fewer cracked eggs and reduced labor hours can support better returns over the flock cycle.
