Layer chicken cage is a broader term that is used for various and different kinds of farming methods collectively. Farming is not restricted to the growing of crops only, but even the raising of cows, goat and domestic birds like chicken, ducks; turkey’s etc. Our focus will be chickens that are raised in battery cage especially on automatic type and manual type. What are the reasons for adopting these methods? How effective these methods have been in recent years while raising hens through battery cages?  Layer chicken cage are a housing system used for various animal production methods, but primarily for egg-laying hens

The name arises from the arrangement of rows and columns of identical cages connected together, in a unit, as in an artillery battery. Although the term is usually applied to poultry farming, similar cage systems are used for other animals. Layer chicken cages have generated controversy between advocates for animal welfare and industrial producers. This method is adopted so that a large quantity of hens could be accommodated in a very limited space so as to reduce the cost and to gain the same level of output, that is, production of eggs. This method of poultry farming has been in the limelight since the discovery of such that being practice for the egg laying hens

 With the rapidly development of modern husbandry industry, layer chicken cage has been used by chicken farmers at home and abroad. This kind of chicken cage system in poultry industry is very suitable for feeding chickens like layers, broilers, baby chickens and breeder chickens in large quantities
