Manual Layer Cage
What Is a Layer Cage?
A layer cage is a specialized poultry housing system designed for laying hens to produce eggs efficiently and hygienically. In modern poultry farms, layers are kept in battery cage systems, which allow for high-density stocking, easy egg collection, and precise flock management.
Compared with traditional floor or deep litter systems, layer cages provide:
Better feed efficiency
Lower egg breakage rate
Improved biosecurity
Easier manure removal and disease control
That is why battery cage systems are widely used in commercial egg farms around the world.

Why Choose Us
The Best Raw Materials for Battery Cage Systems
As a leading layer cage manufacturer and supplier, we use only premium-grade raw materials to ensure long-term durability and stable performance.
The strength and flexibility of steel wire depend largely on its carbon content and processing quality. All wire used in our layer cages is sourced from top-tier steel mills in China, offering the ideal balance of high tensile strength, toughness, ductility, and fatigue resistance.
This ensures the cage structure will not deform, crack, or fail under long-term mechanical stress.
Thanks to this material standard, our battery cage systems typically last at least 3–5 years longer than ordinary cages on the market.
Service Life Up to 30 Years
The cage mesh is treated with heavy hot-dip galvanizing or Galfan coating, providing superior resistance to:
Corrosion
Rust
Ammonia and moisture in poultry houses
Under normal farming conditions, the coating protects the cage for more than 20 years, while the overall cage structure can achieve a service life of up to 30 years with proper maintenance.
This means lower replacement cost, higher return on investment, and long-term farm stability.
Advanced Battery Cage System Design
Our battery cage system is engineered for high productivity, bird welfare, and easy operation.
Key design features include:
Large sliding doors for fast inspection, vaccination, and bird handling
Optimized bottom mesh density to prevent feather pecking and cloacal injuries
Ergonomic cage layout to reduce stress and minimize layer fatigue syndrome
This design not only protects the birds, but also improves egg production, shell quality, and flock uniformity.
All necessary accessories are included
Accessories including regulator or water tanks, water tank frames, nipple drinkers, installation tools, M-nails, water pipes, connectors for the pipe, feeder connectors, end cups, and the best type of PVC feeder troughs.
Free layout design
We offer a free design service based on the size of poultry house or coop you want.
- Chickens will start laying eggs when they are between 12 and 16 weeks old. So when they are this age, transfer them to the layer cage
- We can provide a free layout design according to your chicken coop size. Alternatively, we can give you suitable advice according to the quantity of chickens you want to feed if you have not already built your chicken house.
- Our semi-automatic chicken feeder is 0.55 m wide. The minimum width to be able to use our semi-automatic chicken feeder is 0.7 m, but if your area is very hot, and the scale of the chicken house is large, the width can be bigger to ensure good ventilation. Usually we design walkways to be between 0.7 m and 1.2 m.
- If you plan to use our manure scraper, the depth of the channel should be about 50 cm.
- The 3-tier chicken cage is 1.5m long and the 4-tier cage is 1.95m, so the height of the chicken house should be about 2.8 m to 3 m.
