In laying nests for chicken farms, so-called row nests are known, in which an automatic discharge of eggs from the nest is made possible by the fact that the nest floor is designed to be tiltable. In the unloaded state, the nest floor is inclined so that the egg lying on the nest floor runs over a hole, for example on a conveyor belt or the like. As long as the chicken loads the floor of the nest, it is in a horizontal position. It is also known to provide the conveyor belt below the nest floors as well as next to the nests. It is also known to build the nests in that individual boundary walls are provided with holes that are traversed by tension wires, so that the tension wires give the side walls the necessary support . All nests together or each nest is assigned a hint bar so the chicken can enter the nest floor better. It is also known to use flaps or the like to ensure that the nest is closed when the chicken is in the nest. Embodiments in which the side walls dividing the nests are combined into a unit via tension wires, with the front and / or rear walls defining the required distance or the nest shape, have the advantage of a simplified structure and particularly simple assembly. Such a row of nests can be dismantled, extended or rebuilt at any time. No special connection via joints, screws, nails or the like is required between the individual parts, so that, for example, such a row of nests can easily be built up on the spot from individual parts.

In order to accommodate the necessary nest mechanics, ie to ensure that the nest bottom tilts at the correct angle to the egg drain, that the nest closes automatically and the eggs run from without being hit , for example on a conveyor belt, it is now in known embodiments required for the storage and fastening of the mechanics, bearing axles, fastening points , etc. additionally to be provided within the individual nests. But this comes therefore difficulties because, processing capabilities are of course not to be expected with such simple devices that need to be extremely cheap.

This implies again that the mechanics for each nest readjusted or must be adapted to the proportions that disturbances in operating Be arise that force to repairs

etc. However, rows of nests that are once in use are due to the contamination that occurs and through The special conditions in chicken coops are still difficult to access, and the owners are not be expected to carry out such repair work yourself respectively.

The object of the invention is therefore, in a laying nest for chicken farms with individual nests arranged in rows, of their tiltable nest bottoms the eggs roll on a conveyor belt that the nest rows gripped longitudinally and the nests are bounded by plates, which are connected above holes of these plates through-spanning tension wires that carry the nest floors and the nest is assigned an approach ledge, so that the mechanism itself can be inserted into the existing 'nest structure regardless of the respective dimensional proportions, and without the need for additional parts or axles, etc. This is made possible by the invention solved that on the tension wires of the nest back of the nest floor and a deflection and brake trap and the approach bar are pivotably mounted on the tension wire on the front, with an in The short lever arm of the approach bar protruding into the nest underneath the entrance side of the nest floor. grasps in such a way that when entering the nest floor through the chicken is swiveled the short lever arm down and the approach ledge up.

The invention thus uses the tension wires, which are required anyway, with which the parts are made

which the nest consists, are summarized as axes for the storage of the mechanics. The approach bar therefore works when stepping on the nest floor up and automatically closes the nest. According to a further feature of the invention are On the entrance side of the single semester two tensioning wires are arranged high and offset to the side, with * on the outer of the two wires
