ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a nesting pad for poultry confinement structures in egg laying operations. The nesting pad is wire mesh with a plurality of longitudinal wires connected by a plurality of horizontal wires. The longitudinal wires have molded thereupon a pliable material such as a rubber composition. The pliable material forms ridges upon an upper surface of the longitudinal wire members. The horizontal cross members are molded with a sheath of said pliable material. The molded pad is acceptable to egg laying hens. The nesting pads are easy to clean and provide a poor habitat for poultry pests. Pliable ridges support freshly laid eggs and the pads can be shaped to fit existing confinement structures.
