Well done Richard and Bruno!!👏👏👏

Thank you for the collaboration efforts and involving everyone in the R&D and trialling.

I just started using my home made egg mobile last week and the plan always was to go to a bought egg mobile afterwards, but this nestbox might just be good enough for me to make another egg mobile when this one gets too small! Thanks for your work Richard and Bruno!

[@annburge291]

Thank you Bruno and Richard for being guys dedicated to helping others and always trying to perfect what most people think as 'good enough'. The egg belt collector is not only efficient, clean and affordable... it's beautiful. It's like an airplane in a hanger. Thank you.

[@carolewarner101]

Holy smokes, Bruno, you're a genius!!! That's fantastic. So clean and well thought out. I would think that people who are going to use this in the future who haven't yet build their egg mobiles would benefit from a different design to the building itself to allow for easier access for humans for humans when needed. It's a bit awkward, but as you pointed out you won't need to get in there very often anymore! That's so awesome that he'll be making the CAD plans available for purchase for those of us who aren't in Europe too. THANKS BRUNO, YOU'RE A HERO!

[@twinkletoe2213]

Amazing job Bruno! And Richard, awesome as always!

[@pieteroosthuizen5535]

Try adding the acuators from the bottom on the front two corners, mounted to the base of the egg mobile (stable platform). Depending on how riged the nest box is it should work. Out of the way and you will only ever have to adjust one side to get it level.

[@lkhfun6575]

Love the work you and Bruno have done. I suggest you have the access door to the left open in so it can swing back against the wall instead of toward the electrical equipment. Looks like you could design it either way.

[@rayjohn9535]

Am going to create my egg mobile in my Caribbean twin island Trinidad and Tobago now thanks Richard

[@danielamick4356]

Looks excellent, Richard! Bruno is amazing. Someone may have mentioned this already but maybe you could put your actuators overhead and a pulley on floor with a rope running through and attached roost pole on the nest. That way it pulls down and has some play even if it levels out in different spots. Just a thought I had while watching. Anyways great work!

Is there an entrance door on the tall side of the eggmobile? I’m curious if there are self-leveling mechanisms you could adapt that would be similar to what you see used on large boats.

[@jameshunt2905]

Richard.... Forgive me if you mentioned this, how is the entire set-up suspended in a way that can be leveled? Like you I have hillsides to navigate and am decidedly interested in what you and Bruno have been up to!! BTW.. been using velvet in strips to glue on to those edges such as you have here (where the eggs roll over to the belt), Table felt might be an option too. Great work.

[@dewvictim]

Love your videos! Why do the nests need to close when eggs are moved out of access by the chickens? Is it to keep them from going broody and/or another reason?

[@yeagerxp]

to keep the chickens from sleeping in the nests

I don't know how far the new book is, but I was thinking when I saw the picture in the end: why not maken one of the chichen tractors on the cover as a cad drawing? Just an idea that I would consider a cool little detail :-)

[@halilbalaban1056]

Hello Richard. I subscribed to you and your channel from Türkiye. In which country do you live? This video was the first video of yours that I came across and made me discover your channel. Your work is very nice. The chickens' egg-laying boxes and conveyor belt system are a great combination design. I congratulate you. I want to ask something about the coop and chickens. Because the floor of the chicken coop is made of grilled iron. How do you protect chickens from the cold coming from the floor of the chicken coop in cold winter weather?

[@johnkillen588]

very creative...........i have a couple hundred chickens and looking to do quail............

[@chrislutz9342]

Super cool and thanks for your hard work. Looking at this though, it seems like the boxes aren't a great fit for this EggMobile design. As you mention, there are access concerns for both people and chickens. Good luck getting in there to check on or clean the boxes in the back right. I think you may need to come up with a new EggMobile design that allows this to work better in the space. Either that or a one-sided design that allows this to sit against the side of the coop similar to the old set-up. Lot's of great innovation in here as always though!

[@regenerativeagriculture]

It's definitely tight to get in on the far right, but I would imagine only needing to 5-6 times a year. We'll see, and review as we go, but I'm thinking its going to be sweet. Part of the project is getting a product available that people can do what they want with...

[@mattkyhnn686]

I understand you decided this was just too big for standard Ridgedale style eggmobile. Your wedge shaped design suits our high winds really well, and I’d like to figure out some way to make these nest boxes suit a new eggmobile. Do you think modifying the Ridgedale style to 400cm wide and perhaps 300cm at the tall side and 150cm at the low side would provide enough space for this?

[@tylerstone2917]

Was wondering if you have ever thought about collecting the chicken poo and either using it on the farm or creating another income mechanism. I envision a chicken poo gutter that catches the droppings then its all a matter of using a trowel to shove it down the gutter into a bucket. I understand also that it helps fertilize the land but it seems like the birds would do a good job fertilizing while out during the day.

[@thetessellater9163]

The point of this is to move it each day or two, so the poo spreads all over the ground, thus becoming part of the nutrient cycle of the land, a necessity if you wish to avoid oil-based fertilisers - hence regenerative, and sustainable.

[@Stezosledec559]

the tessellater Richard farm is propelled by imported grain.

[@thomassullivaniv8367]

@@Stezosledec559 as are most small farms with commercial live stock operations, it allows networks of small farmers to support other organic grain producers without having to take on the burden of growing everything yourself.

[@tylerstone2917]

@@thetessellater9163 You do realize they are fertilizing the entire day while out of the tractor... If you are "free roaming" the birds all day, they are pooing all over the place. When they poo in the tractor it is all isolated to one spot not over the entire land they were grazing hence why I am asking if this could be turned for profit? Seems like excess isolated to one area

Why level it with a button if you can use an IMU to do it for you automatically?

[@regenerativeagriculture]

Thats beyond my simpleness, but it's nay bother to check its level in the morning; you have to level it front to back manually regardless, and it will take all of 3 seconds

[@rhalfik]

@@regenerativeagriculture But if you use a microcontroller, than you can also automate things like opening and closing the door, which is a chore and can lose you a chicken from time to time. Wiring wise it's about as much as using a switch. Simplicity-wise the actuator can be replaced with adjusting a screw manually. Your way seems like a middle of a road solution for me. I'd go all in, especially since controller units are dirt cheap. Microcontroller, motor drivers, IMU are 1-2euro each. Code is already there. You just flash arduino with a downloaded code and that's it.
