Hen Housing

Jul 21, 2023

Egg laying hens are housed a variety of ways in Canada. Every housing system is designed to provide a clean environment, fresh food and water, and protection from predators. Additionally, every indoor housing system offers consistent temperature, humidity, lighting and air quality. Egg farmers are continuously seeking to improve the care and well-being of their hens.

Each hen housing system has its own unique set of benefits and challenges. Regardless of the housing system utilized, it is ultimately the farmer’s experience and expertise that enables the associated benefits to be realized and the challenges to be overcome. The farmer, not the housing system, is responsible for achieving Canada’s world-class standards for animal care, food quality and safety.
