Abstract
An egg-holding tray for incubation intended to accommodate eggs has rectangular shape with rounded corners bordered by parallel walls. A lower part of these walls configures a protruding rectangular border. The internal area of the tray comprises a set of laterally juxtaposed aureoles with the same structure that fill the entire area of the tray. Each individual aureole includes a lower concentric ring beneath an upper ring. The lower ring has a circular shape configured to have four equidistant orthogonal supports located on the internal face which each support has a vertical triangular shape with a rounded upper end and a concave surface that correlates to the inside circumference of the lower ring. The tray accommodates eggs under the force exerted by the weight of each of the eggs prevent the egg from moving around in the aureole.
