A cage-free floor system for poultry, specifically laying hens, is an indoor housing system that allows hens to move freely without cages, encouraging them to exhibit natural behaviors like walking, perching, dust bathing, and laying eggs in nests. These systems often incorporate features like perches, scratch areas, and dedicated nests.
Hens are not confined to individual cages, allowing them to move around the barn.
Cage-free systems are typically housed in large, indoor barns or facilities.
The system is designed to enable hens to perform natural behaviors like perching, dust bathing, foraging, and laying eggs in nests.
