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: acts as the structural support of the cage body, made up of a beam and diagonal support. These components are usually constructed from angle steel or channel steel, with a thickness ranging from 2.0 to 2.5 mm.

(2) cage body: The chicken cage is made from cold-drawn steel wire using spot welding, then galvanized and assembled. It includes the top net, bottom net, front net, back net, and cage door. Typically, the front net and top net are joined, as are the back net and bottom net, with a single separate net. The cage door is part of the front net or top net, and some doors can be removed or flipped. The cage bottom net has a slope of 6° to 10°, extending 12 to 16 cm outside the cage to form the egg tray. Cage specifications generally feature a front height of 40 to 45 cm and a depth of about 45 cm, accommodating 3 to 5 chickens per small cage.

Multi-layer coops can promote the health of chickens

Poultry farmers often fail to achieve healthy outcomes in chicken raising due to overlooking multi-layer coops. These structures are essential for promoting chicken health and facilitating better reproduction.

The original multi-level coop wasn't just about having a metal mesh floor and essential heating elements. The design of a high-quality multi-layer chicken coop sets it apart from a typical wire cage. Its wire flooring is specifically crafted to facilitate the drainage of fecal matter, thereby minimizing the accumulation of waste around the birds and lowering the risk of diseases transmitted through feces. This proactive approach helps maintain chicken health and ensures the farmers' interests are protected.

Increase egg production

Productivity is higher in chickens that are healthy compared to those raised in less favorable conditions, and using enrichment cages can boost 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.

Product introduction

Henan silver star cage net introduction, Designed for laying and breeding hens, the 1250 type frame layer cage features cages that are 650 mm long and 1250 mm wide. Each cage is equipped with a door measuring 650 mm long, 650 mm deep, and 500 mm high, ensuring ample space for comfort. The cages are engineered with precise structural details to promote welfare, allowing for up to 9 animals per door. Each chicken occupies 452 square centimeters, and the feeding capacity per cage reaches 18 birds.

The breeding capacity for each three-layer compartment is 54 birds, with enclosures capable of housing either 72 or 90 birds each. A six-floor enclosure typically supports 108 birds. The predominant setup involves four layers, while optional multilayer partitions can be configured as an eight-layer duplex (4 plus 4) or a nine-layer triple (3 plus 3 plus 3), designed to minimize housing expenses and optimize operational efficiency.
