An egg transport device, in particular an egg lift, comprising: - feeding means for feeding eggs to the egg transport device, which feeding means comprise a feeding plate having a top side on which eggs are supplied, which feeding plate is provided with a plurality of parallel spaced slots an open end of which is present at an edge of the feeding plate and a closed end is present spaced from the opposite edge of the feeding plate, wherein the eggs are supplied from this opposite edge, and wherein the parts of the feeding plate present between the slots form fingers, - discharge means for discharging eggs from the egg transport device, and - transport means present between the feeding means and the discharge means for transferring eggs from the feeding means to the discharge means, which transport means comprise a flexible endless transport element which is provided with comb-shaped carriers located in longitudinal direction of the transport element and present at a mutual distance behind one another, which carriers are provided with a plurality of carrier teeth which are located at spaced intervals transversely to the longitudinal direction of the transport element and which move through the slots at the location of the feeding means, wherein free ends of the carrier teeth near the closed end of the slots enter the slots coming from below and move towards the open end of the slots where they rise above the slots with an increasing length, which carrier teeth have a front side which the eggs come into contact with during operation, characterized in that the top side of the fingers has a greater friction coefficient than the friction coefficient of the front side of the carrier teeth so that during operation the eggs roll over the top side of the fingers and slide along the front side of the carrier teeth. - feeding means for feeding eggs to the egg transport device, which feeding means comprise a feeding plate having a top side on which eggs are supplied, which feeding plate is provided with a plurality of parallel spaced slots an open end of which is present at an edge of the feeding plate and a closed end is present spaced from the opposite edge of the feeding plate, wherein the eggs are supplied from this opposite edge, and wherein the parts of the feeding plate present between the slots form fingers, - discharge means for discharging eggs from the egg transport device, and - transport means present between the feeding means and the discharge means for transferring eggs from the feeding means to the discharge means, which transport means comprise a flexible endless transport element which is provided with comb-shaped carriers located in longitudinal direction of the transport element and present at a mutual distance behind one another, which carriers are provided with a plurality of carrier teeth which are located at spaced intervals transversely to the longitudinal direction of the transport element and which move through the slots at the location of the feeding means, wherein free ends of the carrier teeth near the closed end of the slots enter the slots coming from below and move towards the open end of the slots where they rise above the slots with an increasing length, which carrier teeth have a front side which the eggs come into contact with during operation,
