Whether you're employed in the industry or simply a hobbyist, chicken farming can be an enjoyable and productive activity to take on. One of the most critical parts of chicken farming is keeping the chickens contained. Chicken nesting boxes are some of the most common methods of containing chickens. One box for every four to five hens is the minimum for your hens to feel comfortable laying in them. If you're unsure about how to best contain your chickens, here are some of the benefits of chicken nesting boxes.

Fewer broken eggs:

  • It's frustrating enough to bring home a dozen eggs from the supermarket and see that some are broken, but dealing with broken eggs is even more frustrating when you're doing all the work of raising the chickens yourself. While they are fairly common, you can decrease the number of broken eggs by investing in a roll away nest box. These allow the eggs to be removed easier and reduces the possibility of breakage. Any type of easy-to-clean nest box will assist in reducing broken eggs.

More durable

Chicken nesting boxes are known for their strength and ease of assembly. These boxes are designed to withstand all of the various daily activities of the chickens. Heavier boxes are made of thicker metal and will last for many years and egg laying cycles. Raising chickens is already a large time expenses, and you can save hours by investing in a nesting box with minimal assembly required.

Application of egg grader machine

The egg grading machine has a wide range of uses and can be used in farms of various sizes, such as chicken farms, duck farms, goose farms, etc. In addition, the egg grader is also used in egg-deep processing factories and large supermarkets to grade eggs. Some poultry hatcheries also choose egg graders to pre-treat eggs. Finally, egg graders are also commonly used in various food processing factories, especially egg food factories. In order to ensure the consistent weight of eggs, graders are often selected for processing.

The automatic egg conveyor can quickly transport eggs into the egg grader for grading. The machine transports smoothly without causing damage to the eggs. The egg conveyor’s silicone rollers with guide bars ensure that the eggs move at a constant speed in the guide rails.

The colour touch-screen PLC electronic grading machine of the egg grading machine has a self-diagnosis function, which can intelligently count the number of eggs sorted at each level in each class, and the grading accuracy is ±1 gram. The text on the touch screen can choose different languages, such as English, Chinese, French, etc.

The LED light detection device of the egg grader is installed under the egg conveying roller. When the eggs pass through the light inspection area, workers can pass through the light inspection to pick out damaged eggs, embryo eggs, eggs of the opposite sex, and other unqualified eggs.

The egg collector can adjust the order of the graded eggs, and then drop the corresponding eggs into special egg nests. The eggs are then manually loaded into the egg tray using the egg suction device.

Easier to clean

Keeping your chicken nesting boxes clean is an essential part of being a successful chicken farmer. Dirty nesting boxes can negatively impact the health and egg laying capability of the chickens. Many nesting boxes offer features designed to make the cleaning process as quickly and efficiently as possible. Any type of easy-to-clean nest box will also assist in reducing broken eggs, but roll away nest boxes offer the easiest cleaning and the most animal interaction. Keeping your chicken coops clean will result in happier chickens and better eggs.

 

Ultimately, there are many more benefits to different types of chicken nesting boxes. Doing plenty of research to find the right one for your needs is the best way to ensure you're giving your chickens the best living conditions possible.
