Abstract

A laying nest for poultry includes a housing having an entrance and a two-part nest bottom, with the respective parts being inclined toward one another and substantially toward a center of the nest so as to create a slit through which laid eggs may roll down onto a conveyor. A barring arrangement is provided in front of the entrance of the housing so as to selectively permit the poultry to enter and leave the housing.
