Nesting pads for use in combination with poultry houses

摘要

An improved nesting pad for use in poultry houses with bays for egg laying poultry utilizing an extension portion to extend over an associated egg gathering conveyor to maintain the vertical relation between the pad and the conveyor such that the conveyor is below the pad, thereby assuring that eggs and debris will pass from the nesting pad onto the conveyor rather than under the conveyor. The pad and extension may be unitary or may be formed separately and cooperatively inserted into the bays.
