Knowing the different types of cages and their benefits

Basic information
Not all chicken cages are the same. So the first step is to choose a cage or cages that are manufactured to meet your desired needs. For instance, one chicken cage will be better for broilers, while another will be better for layers which are used for egg production. A completely different type and design of cage will be required for day old chicks, because they are smaller and the mesh used for adult cages will generally be too large
The quality of the metal used to manufacture the cages is also very important. The steel needs to be tough, strong and hard so that it can withstand any force that might otherwise cause it to break. The carbon content of the steel determines how hard the metal wire used for a chicken cage is, and how resistant it will be to corrosion. However, if there is too much carbon in the steel, it will become brittle. The carbon steel used for our chicken cages is chosen carefully. These are also galvanized with a thick zinc coating using a hot dipped process to ensure they won’t rust for at least a decade or more
If you need to improve productivity and increase efficiency on your farm, you will have to invest in technology. An automated layer house has mechanically controlled systems for feeding, drinking, egg collection and manure removal. The ventilation is also automated, adjusting and changing accordingly with the environmental temperature, wind pressure, humidity and lighting. This commercial chicken house will save you a lot of money, especially in reducing labour costs, one man can run and manage the entire farm via the control room and occasionally inspecting the building

The different types of chicken cage

1. Pullet cage
The chick cage is suitable for housing young chicks for about two to four weeks. Available with three or four tiers, they vary in height from 1.2 to 1.65 m. These cages are made with a smaller mesh size to accommodate the smaller birds. This type of cage comes with manual feeder and drinker, nipple cup drinker, plastic mesh, feeding trough, pipes, water tanks and valve etc
The chick cage can accommodate between 120 to 180 chicks depending on the chicken cage capacity
2. Broiler cage
The broiler cage is designed to save space and provide a healthier environment than if the chickens were left on the ground. This design also prevents bacteria from forming and diseases from spreading. There are various sizes and configurations including popular broiler cages that comprise two tiers or three tiers. Feeding machines help to make the farm operation more efficient, which ultimately improves profit margins for chicken farmers. Additionally, different broiler cage designs feature different methods of removing chicken droppings, specifically either a belt or a manure scraper. Like layer cages, broiler cages must be laid out with a good sized walkway between them
3. Layer cage
The layer cage features up-down or big sliding doors, providing easy access to the chickens, the mesh at the bottom of these cages is designed to prevent chickens pecking at each other and also prevents chicken fatigue syndrome. The cages are very easy to install, and are supplied with all the accessories required, including a water tank, pipes and valves, and feeding troughs, available with three, four or five tiers, they are suitable for chicken houses that are between 3m and 3.5 m high. Walkways between cages should be about 1m to 1.2 m wide. Ideally semi-automatic feeding machines should also be installed if required
4. 3 tiers battery cage
The 3 tier Battery Cage is the ideal cage for poultry pen houses with limited floor and aerial space. Its ability to house 120 birds in just 3 tiers makes it very economical for poultry farmers willing to rear a large number of birds but with limited space. This model comes with an aluminum feeder which is light; making it easy to clean and move around. Each cage unit comes with 4 wooden support slabs (3 by 4 inches) specially adapted to provide support for the metal stands. The Premium Semi automatic Poultry Cages are designed for clean and easy egg packing as well as minimal feed spillage when feeding chickens. They come with all the required water accessories and adjoining parts. The 3 tier battery cages are suitable for all kinds of egg laying chickens including breeders, layers, point of lay, and point-of cage birds. They are well designed for the clean and easy collection of eggs, a seamless serving of feed and easy management of the entire cage. The aluminum feeding trough is made of aluminum which is remarkable for its light weight and durability; in its ability to resist corrosion. Also, the frame rod is exceptionally durable on the farm
