Recipe for pasta nests with chicken

Pasta nests with chicken and mushrooms recipe:

To ensure that the dish does not take much time, first of all we put a frying pan with vegetable oil on the stove. While the pan is heating, chop the onions and mushrooms. We send them to the frying pan to fry. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the onion turns golden. Stir regularly so that the mushrooms and onions do not burn.
While the mushroom base is being prepared, you need to prepare the meat. Finely chop the chicken fillet so that the pieces fit into the nests. Squeeze the garlic into the chicken, add salt and pepper, season with spices to taste and mix thoroughly.
After the fillet has been prepared, it needs to be placed in nests. Then we put the nests with the chicken in a frying pan with the mushrooms and pour in milk or cream so that they almost completely cover the nests. If you use heavy cream, we recommend diluting it with water. Cover with a lid and leave to simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Also make sure that after boiling the sauce completely covers the nests. And during the break, you can grate the cheese and chop the herbs.
When the specified time has passed, remove the lid and sprinkle with grated cheese. Next, you can put the pasta nests with chicken and mushrooms in the oven for 5 minutes, or you can simply cover with a lid and leave to simmer on the stove for another 5 minutes. Then remove the dish from the stove and serve. Before serving, we recommend sprinkling with chopped herbs to give the dish an appetizing look.

Simple nest

If the poultry farmer has not had time to fully equip the poultry house, then you can organize a nest for chickens with your own hands from any suitable sized boxes, drawers or other containers that are unnecessary on the farm. A simple nest can even be made from a tire. The larger one (from a tractor or mining dump truck) is cut into 4 parts, and the chickens lay eggs inside such improvised nests.

A small one (from a passenger car) is placed in the chicken coop, filling its recess with hay or shavings. Plastic containers for paints or other building mixtures, fuels and lubricants, etc. can also be used as temporary nests, cutting off unnecessary parts from them and shaping them into a box.

The box is easy to put together from a piece of plywood and 4 bars 5-7 cm high. These parts are fixed to the bottom from a piece of plywood. The simplest nest is filled with bedding and used as a temporary option.

Such a spectacular and at the same time easy-to-prepare dish can be served both in the world and at a feast and at any convenient time. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the various methods of preparing pasta nests, each of which is unique in its own way.

Nest-box

This type of chicken nest is a wooden box, open only on one side. Products are removed through the inlet. If the bird is calm and does not peck its own egg, then such a design will be sufficient. If there are a large number of laying hens, the booths can be made in the form of sections combining several cell-boxes.

To work you will need:

sheet wood material (plywood, chipboard) or boards;
block with a cross section of 2-3 cm;
screws or nails;
sawing tool;
file.

Cut out 5 rectangles with the dimensions of width, depth and height as needed (2 side walls, floor and roof, backdrop). Cut bars to attach the walls to each other. From the remaining material, make a threshold and a flight board in front of the entrance to the nest for the chicken. Using a file and sandpaper, process the edges of the parts until smooth.

Strengthen 4 bars along the perimeter of the bottom and lid, flush with the edges, and nail 2 of the same parts on the sides to the back. When cutting a block, you need to take into account its thickness and make some of the parts shorter so that they fit well on the plane.

Screw the side walls to the bars fixed to the bottom and lid. Insert a backdrop between them and attach it at the top and bottom. Connect the sides with the bars on the back. Decorate the façade: attach a threshold and a narrow strip on top to the bars. If the bird houses are combined into a section, when calculating the details, you need to take into account that the internal walls of the cells are common. Finally, nail down the landing board and place the box on a raised platform or attach it to the wall.

Useful tips

To prevent chickens from getting used to spending the night in nests, soiling the bedding, it is better to install a door at the entrance to the hutch. The bird rushes in the morning hours, and the boxes can be closed at night.

If chickens fly onto the roof of the huts and sit or spend the night there, it is advisable to sheathe it with a sheet of tin so that the wood does not deteriorate from droppings. Most often, the tin coating also scares off those who like to relax at heights.

If the chicken coop is small, you can install nesting boxes on top of each other. In this case, it will be necessary to supplement the structure with ladders along which birds can climb. It is convenient to place a bath with ash under the nesting sections so as not to take up the free floor space.

Types of nests for laying hens

If you don’t have the desire or ability to make nests for laying hens with your own hands, you can purchase ready-made ones. But many poultry farmers create places for chickens to lay eggs from scrap materials: boxes made of wood and plastic, old baskets of any size, and cardboard boxes are used. The next point in preparing nests is to choose a suitable place in the chicken coop, where there is no light and it is quiet.

Whether poultry farmers decide to purchase ready-made structures or make them themselves, but first they need to decide what type of nests will be.

There are two types of such structures:

Nest in the form of boxes. It is easy to set up such a structure, and the external data of the boxes allows you to arrange many cells for laying eggs in one place. In such nests it is easier to train laying hens to lay eggs - the females are locked in the nest for several days, developing the habit of laying eggs in a certain place.
Designs with egg collectors. Such nests can be different in shape, but the principle of their arrangement is the same - the laid egg is immediately rolled into a special tray using the equipment, so the laying hen does not touch it and cannot damage it. Such nests are usually set up in poultry farms or large farms, where they breed laying hens in large quantities for the mass collection of egg products.

Delicious pasta nests with minced meat and sour cream

Sour cream sauce with herbs is a win-win of all the proposed options. The combination of these products makes the taste of meat expressive, and the appearance of the dish is laconic and at the same time effective.

Cooking time: 60 min.

Cooking time: 45 min.

Ingredients:

Pasta nests – 8 pcs.
Minced meat – 300 gr.
Sour cream – 180 gr.
Chicken egg – 1 pc.
Onion – 1 pc.
Salt - to taste.
Ground black pepper - to taste.
Greens - to taste.
Vegetable oil - for frying.

Cooking process:

Beat an egg into the defrosted minced meat, add finely chopped onion, salt and pepper.
Mix everything thoroughly, distributing all ingredients evenly.
Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and lay out all the pasta nests, leaving free space between them, since during the cooking process they increase significantly in volume.
We make as many balls from minced meat as we have blanks and place the formed balls in the center of the nest.
For the sauce, dilute the sour cream with 300 ml of water, add salt, pepper and mix well until smooth. Pour the finished sauce into the pan; it should almost cover the pasta nests.
Cook the dish over low heat with the lid closed. After 30-35, we check the readiness of the minced meat and pasta and, if necessary, increase the cooking time.
To serve, chop some fresh herbs and sprinkle on the stuffed nests.

With egg collector

Nests with an egg collector are necessary in those farms where the number of laying hens is too large and it is not possible to constantly collect laid eggs. The following similar designs exist:

with double bottom;
with special containers into which eggs are rolled.

To make nests with a double bottom, you will need the following materials and tools:

plywood or thin boards;
coarse emery;
fasteners;
wood hacksaw;
hammer;
screwdrivers;
upholstery material for the pallet;
scissors;
glue.

A house is made from plywood or boards according to the drawings, the bottom of which is made at a slight slope. A hole is left between the wall and the floor, into which the laid eggs roll. The second bottom is a pallet, which is upholstered with soft material. This tray is 9-11 cm longer than the main floor to make it more convenient to collect eggs.

Juicy nests of pasta with minced meat in creamy sauce

Cream is one of those few products from which you can make a delicious sauce that harmonizes with both meat and any pasta. The dish immediately acquires a delicate creamy taste and rich aroma.

Wheat flour – 2 tbsp.
Salt - to taste.
Ground black pepper - to taste.
Butter – for frying.

Cooking process:

Roughly chop the peeled onion and fry in a frying pan heated with butter until golden brown.
After about 5 minutes, transfer part of the onion into a separate container, and sprinkle the other half with 1.5 tablespoons of flour and mix well. After two minutes, pour room temperature cream into the pan and stir until smooth.
Let's move on to preparing the meat base. Mix mayonnaise, some fried onion, and finally salt and pepper into the minced meat. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Divide the prepared minced meat into 10 equal parts and place the meat balls on pasta nests, which are immediately immersed in a frying pan with hot creamy sauce.
Cover the container with nests filled with minced meat with a sheet of foil, make a couple of holes in it with a toothpick and send it to bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. To begin with, prepare the dish for 25-30 minutes, during which time the pasta will have time to cook well and will not become dry.
After this time, remove the foil from the pan and sprinkle the dish with cheese, grated on a coarse grater. And we send the dish to bake without foil for 20 minutes until the cheese hardens.
An endlessly delicious dish is ready. Divide into portions and serve.

Basic rules for arrangement

In order for the hen to pay attention to the nest offered to her, and not lay eggs where she wants, you need to make it as comfortable and safe as possible. The laying process takes 30-60 minutes, during which it is not advisable to disturb the bird. Instinctively, she chooses a dark and secluded corner where there is soft bedding. When kept free-range, chickens can hide in thickets of grass, under berry bushes and in other places that are inaccessible to the owner.

To attract chickens to artificial nesting sites, the following conditions must be met:

install them in a shaded corner of the chicken coop;
choose a warm and dry place without drafts;
install the box not on the floor, but slightly above it (up to 30 cm);
High installation of nests (more than 50 cm above the floor) is also undesirable: these most often contain eggs with blood streaks in the yolk;
the number of nesting sites depends on the number of birds - 5 pcs. 1 box is enough;
There should be soft and dry bedding inside (straw, shavings, etc.).

You can install boxes for laying eggs where chickens prefer to lay eggs themselves, if it is convenient for the owner.

Cooking process:

Since this dish contains a lot of vegetables, it will take more time to prepare. First, cut the onion into cubes.
Grate all the carrots on a coarse grater.
You can add absolutely any greens, the main thing is to rinse and dry the bunches well, after which we chop them as finely as possible.
Combine minced chicken, herbs and pressed garlic. Mix everything well, adding salt and pepper as you go.

We check the readiness of our dish. During this time, both pasta and meat should have been completely cooked.
Arrange the stuffed pasta nests into portions and serve, covering the top with frying.

How to properly attach sockets

Correct installation of nests involves placing them in such a way that there is a small gap between the walls of the nest box and the wall of the chicken coop. To make a base for the nesting box, you will need several boards and bars.

From this material you need to cut 4 legs about 30 cm high and 4 veins. The length of the veins corresponds to the dimensions of the nest on the floor. Connect the parts with nails so as to get something like a bench without a seat. We attach a nest-box or another type to this base. There is no need to nail it down: this will make it easier to clean the box itself and replace the bedding in the chicken coop. The lightweight structure can be quickly disassembled and taken outside for drying and treatment against parasites.

If necessary, you can make a stationary shelf base. At the same time, determine the size of the box and make the width of the shelf slightly larger than the depth of the booth. This will help replace the landing board with part of the nesting base itself. Then proceed as follows:

nail the support beam to the wall and strengthen 2-3 transverse support strips on top of it (the distance between the supports is no more than 1 m);
a jib is mounted under each plank, sawing its ends at an angle of 45°, and nailed to the wall under the support beam;
the front edge (ends) of all crossbars must be combined with a long board or block, attaching it to each support;
make the flooring from slats or solid;
place the drawers on the shelf, leaving 20-25 cm free in front of the entrance.

This design can be made multi-tiered and used to install simple open nest boxes or booths without an egg collector.

Nest care

Nest boxes should be kept clean. The appearance of the products that are sold and the safety of the owners themselves who eat eggs depend on this. To collect a clean and undamaged chicken egg, you need to properly care for the nest boxes:

replace the bedding filler as it becomes contaminated with droppings, broken eggs or other soiling substances;
Once a week, it is recommended to treat the bottom of the nest box with a disinfectant solution (Blezna, bleach, etc.), and then dry and ventilate the boxes;
Once a month, it is advisable to treat the inner surface of the nests with sulfur powder to prevent the reproduction and transmission of ticks, lice and lice;
Inspect nesting sites once every 3 months, identifying defects that appeared during operation and carrying out minor repairs;
Once a year you will have to thoroughly clean the chicken coop, removing in the spring all the litter that has accumulated over the winter and again ventilating, drying and treating the boxes from bacteria and parasites.

Sometimes nesting equipment has a mesh bottom. This saves time on processing the box, but requires the use of only large fractions of bedding: straw, shavings, dry leaves, etc. Small sawdust and similar materials will not be able to stay in such a nest for a long time, and the owner will have to constantly add more bedding.

What do you need to know?

The most important factor to consider when building nest boxes is their internal dimensions. When keeping egg breeds of birds, the following dimensions of the nest for chickens are observed:

width - 25 cm;
height - 35 cm;
depth - 35 cm.

Households often keep meat and egg poultry, which is larger in size. For these chickens, the width, height and depth are 30, 45 and 40 cm, respectively.

To prevent nest litter from being scattered, a side is installed on the front of the nest box. The height of the threshold must be at least 5 cm. In front of the entrance, it is recommended to make a shelf onto which a bird about to lay eggs will fly. The shelf should be wide enough for a chicken to walk along it. Sometimes this detail is made in the form of a perch. Then it is placed parallel to the front wall at a distance of 10-15 cm from it. The section of the bar is 5x2 cm.

It is advisable to make the roof of the nest boxes steeply inclined (at least 45°). This will prevent chickens from trying to sit on it.
