1.Battery Chicken Cages
If you’re starting a poultry farming project and are looking for a good chicken cage, you might find that battery cages are often recommended on Google and e-commerce platforms. Indeed, more and more farmers are choosing battery cage chickens. You can verify this by searching “chicken farming” now.
For 1,000-2,000 chicks,you can choose to raise them on the ground. However, for a flock of 10,000 chicks, cages are necessary for easier management.
In Southeast Asia and Africa, battery cages are the preferred solution for many medium- to large-scale farms, ideal for high-density farming, standardized management, and stable egg production.

2.Advantages of Chicken Battery Cages
What are the advantages of caged chickens farming? These can be analyzed from the perspectives of chicken house management, labor costs, and production returns.
2.1. Ease of Management
Caged chickens make it easy to monitor the flock’s condition, including egg production, feed intake, and abnormal behavior. This allows for early isolation of sick birds and prevents mass mortality.
2.2. The same coop size allows for more chickens to be raised.
Efficiently utilize land space and achieve high-density farming. Choose H type 3-4 tiers chicken battery cages. Each unit can house 180 or 240 birds, allowing a single house to accommodate up to 150,000 birds, effectively saving you land costs.
Automated layer chicken farming equipment primarily consists of hot-dip galvanized cages, automatic feeding and drinking systems, automatic egg collection systems, lighting, waste treatment equipment, and an environmental control system. Its high degree of mechanization provides a suitable environment for laying hen farming, improving efficiency from chick rearing to laying hen production.
2.3. Lower Feed Costs
If you raise chickens, you know that feed costs account for a significant portion of your farming costs. Reducing feed waste, then, increases farming profitability.
Advantages of an automatic feeding system:
√ Evenly distributes feed to the V-shaped trough, reducing waste caused by feed accumulation and spillage.
√ Feeding amounts and feeding times can be adjusted according to different growth stages, reducing losses caused by improper feeding.
√ Tractor-type carts provide stable transport, minimizing operator error.
2.4. Reduces infectious diseases in the flock.
Enclosed chicken houses facilitate regular disinfection, vaccination, and biosecurity measures, reducing disease incidence and naturally reducing fluctuations in egg production.
5. Harvest more eggs daily.
Egg production rate is also a key metric for farmers. Producing more eggs daily means increased farming profitability. So, how do caged chickens improve egg production?
√ First, the breeding environment.
Stable temperature, humidity, and light levels reduce egg production declines caused by heat stress or cold weather.
√ Layer houses typically use light bulbs to maintain light intensity and maintain consistent egg production.
√ A stable water and feed supply ensures an optimal feed-to-egg ratio.
√ The enclosed chicken house design provides a suitable breeding environment, minimizing external environmental threats to the flock and ensuring more controlled egg laying.
√ The carefully designed 8° tilted elastic bottom net gently rolls eggs down, reducing egg breakage.
3.Chicken coop simple design
Yes, we offer custom coop designs! Below is a blueprint of our plan for 10,000 laying hens. Simply provide your coop dimensions or number of hens to get a simple design.
Battery chickens is suitable for standardized, commercial poultry farms, achieving substantial egg or chicken yields. Chicken battery cage offers greater productivity and is easier to manage than free-range chicken farming, avoiding many of the challenges of ground farming. This makes cage farming a popular choice for many farmers.

4.Case Study! You’re planning to start a project with 30,000 laying hens.
A large-scale farm with 30,000 chickens requires automated laying hen equipment and steel-structured chicken houses, including supporting equipment within the house, including generators, incubators, and broiler cages.
Below is a 3D chicken house model.
For Kenya 30000 layers farming, for example, H-type 6 tiers laying hen cages, requiring approximately 84 cages. The specific design will be based on your coop dimensions. Please leave a message to let us know the length, width, and height of your coop. If you’d like to visit our demonstration layer farm, please let me know!
