The laying hens in battery cages do not look at the weight of the laying hens, but need to pay attention to the uniformity of the flock. The uniformity of laying hens is also the key to judging the growth of laying hens. So how to reasonably control the chicken density in the layer chicken cages?

To control the uniformity of chickens, we must first understand the main reasons for the poor uniformity of chickens. There are many reasons for the poor uniformity of laying hens. Most of them are caused by unreasonable and unscientific feeding and management of farmers.

1. Disease. When an individual chicken becomes sick, the disease can hinder the normal growth of the chicken, thereby affecting uniformity.
2. Uneven feeding. Uneven feeding or insufficient trough space can result in poor uniformity due to lack of breeder responsibility, especially when feeding is restricted. Poultry farmers are advised here to use automated feeding systems in automated poultry farming equipment. It can spread the feed evenly in the trough. Not only will the feed intake of the chickens be uniform, but there will be no feed waste.
3. The density is too large. The density of the flock is too large, resulting in uneven feeding and drinking, and the uniformity of the flock decreases. The most taboo thing about using the poultry cage system to carry out a poultry farming project is the super density. This is not only detrimental to the growth of chickens, but also delays the time of egg laying and slaughtering. Therefore, poultry farmers must pay attention to controlling the density of chicken houses and make rational use of space for breeding.
4. Management. Uneven temperature in the house, unsuitable humidity, poor ventilation, and short or irregular beaks during beak trimming can cause feeding difficulties.

Poultry equipment manufacturers address the above four problems. Several preventive measures are recommended. The main measures for farmers to raise the uniformity of layer chicken cage system.

1. Group management. During the entire breeding period, the chickens should be adjusted regularly, and the chickens should be raised according to the size of the chickens, and the small body should be supplemented with nutrients to make it gain weight quickly.
2. Reduce the stocking density. In order to provide a comfortable space for the healthy growth of laying hens, farmers should strictly control the stocking density of layering hens. The chicken cage manufacturer recommends that the chicken age is 7--14 weeks, 20--24/m2, 15--20 weeks old, 12--16/m2.
3. Provide enough troughs. During the growth period, be sure to provide enough troughs. Each chicken should occupy 10-12 cm in the trough, or 5--6 buckets per 100 chickens.
4. Do a good job in epidemic prevention: In order to prevent chickendiseases from affecting growth, farmers should do a good job in disease prevention, disinfection and strict immunization. Farmers can also take preventive medicines according to actual conditions.

The above mentioned some reasons for the poor uniformity of hens in the process of layer chicken cages and some measures to improve the uniformity. Hope the above description is helpful for farmers.
