Roll out nest boxes

[terri9630]

When I was a kid our neighbour had some front roll out nest boxes that I would like to find. The eggs rolled out the front of the nest under the perch and then rolled down to one end of the boxes into a collection bin. You could gather the eggs from outside the coop. He was using them for both chickens and pigeons. Has anyone seen these or know where to look for them? They weren't home made and were similar to these but without the conveyor belt.

Thanks but those aren't what I'm looking for. With all of those you have to collect eggs from each individual nest. The one I'm looking for, after the eggs roll out of the nest they roll down to one end of the row of nest into a collection area. I don't know if they make them any more or even who made them but I hope I can find one.

That one link you sent is exactly what you want. Unfortunately it also requires a mechanism with a rolling belt that draws the eggs off. How many eggs are you planning on collecting.

Its the one I want but I only have 20 chickens. If I could find the one my old neighbour had it would be perfect. Unfortunately she passed about 15yrs ago and her place was sold off and the barn was torn down.
