The layer chicken cage

At present, light cages for light laying hens (e.g., Hyline white hens, Dicca white hens) and medium cages for medium laying hens (e.g., Hyline brown hens, Isha brown hens) are available, usually composed of three full steps or half steps.

(1) Cage frame: is the backbone of the cage body, comprising a beam and diagonal support. These supports are generally crafted from angle steel or channel steel, with a thickness of 2.0 to 2.5 mm.

(2) The chicken cage is made from cold-drawn steel wire, spot welded, galvanized, and assembled, comprising the top net, bottom net, front net, back net, and cage door. Typically, the front net and top net are fused, while the back net and bottom net are also joined, with a separate single net. The cage door forms part of either the front net or the top net, with options for some doors to be removed or flipped. The cage bottom net is angled at 6° to 10°, extending 12 to 16 cm outside the cage to create an egg tray. Cage specifications include a front height of 40 to 45 cm and a depth of around 45 cm, accommodating 3 to 5 chickens per small cage.

Multi-layer coops can promote the health of chickens

Many poultry farmers face challenges in achieving healthy results from chicken raising because they underestimate the importance of multi-layer coops. These structures are critical for maintaining chicken health and improving reproductive success.

The original multi-storey coop was not just a coop with a metal mesh floor and the necessary heating elements. The design of a high-quality multi-layer chicken coop is different from that of an ordinary wire cage. The wire floor is designed to facilitate fecal leakage, removing feces from around the flock and ultimately minimizing the risk of fecal-borne diseases. This will keep the chickens healthy and thus protect the interests of the farmers.

Increase egg production

Chickens that are healthy tend to be more productive compared to those raised in unhealthy environments, and the use of enrichment cages can enhance egg production potential.

It has been recently estimated that 60 percent of eggs used in products such as mayonnaise, sandwiches, and cakes originate from caged chickens, highlighting a preference for cage-based egg laying compared to other breeding techniques, especially utilizing multi-layer cages to improve egg output.
