For this problem, the following aspects are briefly summarized, and I hope it will be helpful to you when choosing to buy chicken cages.

1. The brooding cage (1~40 days old) generally adopts 3~4 layer overlapping type. The total height of the cage is about 1.7 meters, and the total length depends on the scale of rearing. The height of the feet of the cage is 100-150 mm, the length of each single cage is 1800 mm, the height of the cage is 300-400 mm, and the depth of the cage is 400-500. Millimeters, the mesh of the cage is generally rectangular or square. The hole diameter of the bottom net is 12.5×12.5 mm, and the hole diameter of the side net and the top net is 25×25 mm. Each cage can accommodate about 40 chicks.
