The invention relates to a laying nest for poultry farms with a filled with chaff, a conveyor, preferably a single-chain web conveyor receiving a conveyor trough and arranged above this trough, Containers provided with access openings, which are designed to be long and with Partition walls are equipped that swing out or swing out in the direction of advance of the conveyor can.

Such nests are known and are widely used today. The point of these nests is that in the larger poultry farms, especially farms which mainly operate in eggs serve, the chickens are offered a relatively warm and cozy nest, so that the question the nest acceptance - d. H. whether the chickens will accept the new nest - will be turned off and safely prevented It can be that a large number of stable eggs is produced, which can only be laboriously done by hand can be collected, the nest equipped with chaff continues to have the advantage that the chaff acts as a shock absorber so that egg injuries etc. do not occur. After all, have such Nests have the advantage that the proportion of dirty eggs is considerably reduced, despite all of this Advantages is achieved that an almost fully automatic operation is made possible, since only once on Day the conveyor is put into operation and now the chaff interspersed with eggs from the Eggs is separated. Here the eggs can then be easily collected and picked up from the belt will.

In the known nests of this type, however, it occurs again and again that there are chickens in the nest that sit here because of the warm layer of chaff, and especially brood-happy chickens are easily induced to stay here by the nature of the nest. For this reason, in Many poultry farms prefer laying nests that work without a chaff and with a solid one The floor is so uncomfortable in relative terms that chickens can sit here cannot take place so easily. These known laying nests have the disadvantage that once a automatic removal of the eggs is relatively difficult and requires complicated technical means and on the other hand, this uncomfortable nest is very difficult to accept by the chickens.

The invention has for its object to provide a nest in which all these disadvantages of known nests are avoided, d. that is, to create a nest which is separated from both the hoe-laying nest for poultry farms

It is often assumed that the chickens are sitting on the other side in the same way prevented and which ultimately does not require any complicated facilities for the removal of the eggs. This object on which the invention is based is achieved in that in the through the partition walls formed, individual laying chambers of the nest an inclined in the conveying direction of the conveyor Suspended or built-in intermediate shelf, the lowest edge of which is below the highest edge of the next Bottom is, the two bottoms here have a distance from each other, which the passage of eggs without difficulty. It can be seen that by hanging such intermediate floors In the known nests of the type first described above, an egg storage device is created which is relatively uncomfortable for the chickens, i.e. which does not entice the chickens to settle in the nest to fix. On the other hand is hanging these intermediate floors a very easy job, so that the nest at the beginning as normal Einspreunest can be used, which by the chickens either after building the nest or when Growing chickens is readily accepted. In addition, after attaching the intermediate shelf or the intermediate floors allow the eggs to be removed in the same way as before, d. That is, the eggs are collected in the chaff, and here the eggs are prevented from bumping into one another and also the dreaded dirty eggs that require complicated cleaning work avoided. By intermittently moving the actual conveying means in the nest trough can be guaranteed be that not too many eggs accumulated at the respective slip point from the false floor will.

The intermediate floor or floors preferably consist of a grate facing the conveying direction

Suspended in the same floor 10, 11, 12 etc. This in-between way A net-like plastic mesh base can also be used in the conveying direction of the conveyor 2 will. inclines arranged and with its rear end The intermediate 5 provided according to the invention, for example, in the area of the partition walls 9 soil in the laying nest is fastened on one side to retaining bolts 15,16, while the front the partition or that for the partition in front of the end 13 of the intermediate floor on the conical apart Retaining means or special retaining edge of the nest floor can rest. Through this attached to it and rests on its other being between two successive intermediate ends on the, for example, conically tapering floor, for example 11 and 12, an interspace the conveyor trough. As a result, an inclined position 14 is formed, which is selected so high that it is now noticeable of the intermediate floor ensures that more eggs are deposited on the intermediate floor 12 The eggs are guaranteed to roll, with the eggs now being able to slide through and nestle in the chaff 8 two consecutive intermediate floors mine. By short and often consecutive slide through. The intermediate floor has preferential 15 Method of the conveyor 2 is now this wise elongated, somewhat conical shape and heap of eggs always transported on, so that the ensures that the eggs over the conveyor trough width run off the eggs from the intermediate floor 12 an evenly be distributed. the eggs cannot collide. aside from that If a conveyor trough is used which is not conical, the intermediate floor 12 can be so slightly inclined, the front, lower end of the intermediate floor can also have such a speed that the eggs are not suspended despite the movement of the eggs that here one or there are corresponding support devices injuring the eggshells can occur,
provided on the side walls of the nest. The installation of the intermediate shelves 10, 11 and 12 Further advantages and features of the invention can be included in the production of the nest According to the nest it is evident from the following description that this intermediate floor is without any difficulty in writing on the basis of the drawing .. The items can be attached. With the previous ones Drawings show in constructions the nests was the formation of the F i g. 1 made a partial section through a nest according to the suspension of the partitions 9 so that Invention without a suspended intermediate floor, these partitions only extend in the direction of the conveyor F i g. 2 shows a section according to FIG. 1 can move with the hanging direction of the conveyor by tem intermediate floor, with the partition from above, seen in the conveying direction, behind the stabilization visibility reasons is omitted, and were hung in struts 7 were. By simply changing F i g. 3 a longitudinal section through part of the hanging of these partitions 9 these are in rich nests, from the multiple suspended intermediate floor device of the conveyor set rigidly. In place of are evident; 35 retaining bolts 15,16 to be attached, the F i g. 4 shows a perspective view of the intermediate floor 10, 11 and 12 etc. also in the same way Nest. Way to the holding device for the separating In Fig. 1, the actual conveyor trough walls 9 are attached to 1. There aren't any here either draws, which at its lower part conically formed changes of the actual original can be, as is already known. At 40 borrowed nests required, but the intermediate ones The deepest part of the conveyor trough is where the floor itself only needs to be adjusted accordingly borrowed funding 2, which will become an infinite. The intermediate floors 10, 11 and 12 are arranged upstream, so that a single-chain conveyor is preferably made up of a grate floor, which is formed from individual ones. This single-chain web conveyor is deflected via 45 parallel, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor chain wheels, one of these chain wheels being driven by means of grate wheels arranged next to one another. At any point on the rods or from a network of tape, a grate is provided through which the chaff is formed. These grate bars fall through at their front, while the eggs remain lying, with the edge combined, with the front end, these eggs can then be removed or from 50 which is shown in FIG. 3 is denoted by 13, are less widely sought out from the funding. than the higher end is. The sticks of the middle 8 denote the chaff, on the normal bottom made of metal or plastic the chickens can sit down and lay their eggs. are available, depending on what requirements a Mit 9 is in F i g. 1 and 3 a partition denotes such a facility,
Of course, the invention is not limited to the borrowed egg tray - the chaff 8 - shown embodiment, but rather space is divided into different individual compartments, so-called modifications are possible without storage chambers. These partitions 9 are to leave the basic idea of the invention,
in the known embodiments suspended pendulum, so that when the conveyor, 60 then, when there are still chickens in the nest, claims: these chickens on the partitions did not hurt can be.
