Abstract The invention relates to a laying nest for at least one chicken or other type of egg-laying poultry, the laying nest being provided with a floor which has a slight slope towards a collecting device for the eggs laid by the poultry, over which floor a sweeper member can swing for removal of poultry from the floor, which sweeper member is attached for pivoting to a shaft extending above the floor in a horizontal plane. The invention has for its object to give a laying nest a form such that turning out can be performed automatically and virtually without checks being necessary, for instance with automatically controlled hydraulic, pneumatic or electr- ical means. In order to realize this object the invention proposes a laying nest of the type described which has the feature that the sweeper member is coupled via spring means to operating means which possess two stable, extreme positions, in which first position the sweeper member is forced by the spring means to an inactive rest position, and in which second posi- tion the sweeper member is forced by the spring means to a second inactive rest position via a swinging movement such that any poultry that may be present on the floor is subje- cted to a turning out force from the sweeper member as a result of the tensioning in the spring means caused by the operating means.
