How are chicken eggs harvested?

Answer 1

In larger "corporate" chicken farms, eggs are collected via machinery and conveyor belts that transport the eggs directly from the layers to cleaning stations where they are washed, ridding them of bacteria, dirt, and blood spots.

Answer 2

Typically, multiple hens are kept in tiny, slightly tilted cages. There is a conveyor belt moving placed behind the cage (at the bottom of the slope). As eggs are laid, they roll down into the lower conveyor belt, which carries them off for processing.

Answer 3

They are harvested when the hen has layed them in the nest,the farmers collect the eggs from the nest.

Answer 4

They are put in cages that are joined in long rows. They have a slot to lay eggs in and a tray of food and water. They are allowed to do nothing but lay eggs, eat, drink, and/or sleep.
