    I wonder how they get them to look nice then. Do they take the egg instantly? Do they refresh the chickens’ nesting material all the time? Does the egg fall down a hole the moment it’s laid?

      I’ve physically set up chicken “coops” and the steel cage they stand on all day is big enough for eggs to fall into then rolls down to a conveyor and collected.

      There is no bedding and up to 10 chickens in a 1’x3’x 1.5’ cage. I felt horrendous leaving that place by the time I was done
