Apparatus for gathering eggs in banks of cages for chickens, in which only an endless coupling chain is utilized, whose advancing run slides in front of the exits of the cages of one row in a stage, and the reverse run slides in front of the exits of the cages of the other row in the same stage. The arrangement provides the possibility that the chains of each of a plurality of stages onto which arms are fixed for the support of the eggs and the discharge of the eggs at a same level on a general conveyor belt. As an alternate embodiment, a cable is provided on which equidistant arms are moulded from plastic material, so as to form a train of cross-bars apt to receive and displace the eggs arriving from the cages.
