Chicken Nests
- By
A straw nest that chickens walk to when they are about to lay. It collects their eggs and works with hoppers for an automatic egg farm.

Description
No more eggs scattered all over the farm.
Chicken Nests adds a cozy straw nest. Chickens that are about to lay an egg walk over to it, sit down, and the egg lands safely in the nest.
🥚 How it works
- About 30 seconds before laying, a chicken looks for a nest within 16 blocks and walks to it.
- Eggs that land on or right next to the nest are collected.
- The nest shows its eggs: empty, a few, more, or full.
- One nest holds 48 eggs (white, brown and blue eggs all fit).
- Right-click the nest to take all the eggs.
⚙️ Automation
- Put a hopper under the nest and the eggs flow straight into a chest.
- Comparators read how full the nest is.
