Understanding Layer Hen Cages in Zimbabwe

Layer hens require a comfortable and safe environment to lay eggs efficiently. In Zimbabwe, the climate and terrain play a significant role in the type of chicken cages you should consider. Here are some important factors to keep in mind:

• Material: The material of the cage should be durable and resistant to corrosion, given Zimbabwe’s often harsh weather conditions.
• Design: Cages should be designed to provide adequate space for each hen, allowing for easy movement and access to feed and water.
• Airflow and Ventilation: Proper ventilation is essential to maintain a healthy environment for the hens, reducing the risk of disease and heat stress.
• Roosting and Nesting: Cages should include roosting bars and nesting boxes to encourage natural behaviors and improve egg production.
