ABSTRACT:
A poultry nest bank for housing laying hens is described. The nest bank unit is formed from plastic material and includes molded plastic trays or shelves therein in which the hens nest. The trays slope toward the rear of the nest bank unit housing, so that eggs laid by the hens roll to the back of the housing where they can be gathered by an attendant, through an access opening in the rear of the housing. The housing includes front and back molded housing portions, having outwardly extending peripheral rims or edges. The rims are secured together by suitable fasteners to hold the body together as a rigid, integral unit. The trays of the unit are removable to facilitate easy cleaning thereof.
