How to choose chicken laying cages for poultry farming?
1. Choose layer poultry cages according to the number of chickens
· Below 10000 birds. We will advice you choose manual chicken laying cages with automated drinking system ,feeding and egg collection are done manually by farm staff. As your farm benefits increase, you will have a larger number of chickens. And other automation equipment can be added directly to the chicken cage.
· Between 10000 to 20,000 birds. Beside chicken laying cages, we recommend that you choose a manure removal system and an automatic egg collection system. The manure cleaning system can facilitate you to clean chicken manure, improve the environment, reduce diseases and increase egg production rate. The automatic egg collection system can improve the efficiency of collecting eggs, and only one worker is needed to pick eggs in each row, helping to reduce the time and labor cost of egg collection.
· Beyond 20,000 birds. We will advice you to use fully automated chicken cages, which are convenient for intensive farming. Chicken cages are more conducive to chicken house management, help reduce farming costs and quickly increase farming returns
2. Choose chicken laying cages according to the space of the poultry farm
If you have a chicken house with a length of 80 meters, a width of 12 meters, and a height of 3.5 meters, how many groups of chicken cages can you place? And how many laying hens can be raised?
Generally, a 12 meter wide chicken house can accommodate 4 rows of laying cages. And an 80 meter long chicken house can accommodate 59 groups of laying cages. Therefore, the entire chicken house can accommodate 236 groups of chicken laying cages. Because a 3.5 meter high chicken house can accommodate a 4 tiers egg layer cages. And typically a group of 4 tiers egg layer cages can raise 144 layers, so you can totally raise 33984 layers.

3. Choose high quality layer poultry cages
First of all, I believe that you are already very clear about the respective advantages of A type layer cages and H type layer cages. Here, we mainly talk about three details that reflect the quality of laying hen cages.
· Smooth cage mesh surface.The key point of laying hen cage breeding is to reduce the egg breaking rate. Therefore, the material of the chicken cage is very important. The surface treatment of the cage net should be as smooth as possible to avoid the eggs broken by the laying cage as much as possible.
· The point of view of the egg layer cages. The bottom of the chicken cage should be accurate when the angle of the egg is rolled out. The small point of view can not roll out the egg in time. The big point of view is simply washed down to the ground or the impulse of the egg rolling is broken . The slope of the cage should be kept at 7-8 degrees.
· The distance of the iron bars at the bottom of the cage. If the distance is too large or too small, it is not conducive to the breeding of laying hens. Excessive distance will make it difficult for the eggs to slide onto the egg tray. And the chickens on the lower layer can easily peck the chickens on the upper layer. If the distance is too small, the chicken manure will not easily fall and contaminate the eggs.Under normal circumstances, this distance is recommended to be 2.5cm as the best.
4. Choose a guaranteed chicken cage supplier
