3-Tier Cage-Free Aviary Planning for Integrated Commercial Egg Production
A 3-Tier Cage-Free Aviary provides commercial egg producers with an equipment platform for indoor cage-free production, combining accessible open tiers with bird housing and egg-handling functions.
Equipment alone does not guarantee legal compliance, retailer approval, third-party certification or a particular market claim. Final project requirements depend on applicable local law, buyer specifications, stocking density, management practices, traceability requirements, animal-welfare rules and relevant certification programmes.
Use Poultry-House Volume More Efficiently
A floor-raised barn system uses mainly the floor area of a poultry house. By contrast, a 3-Tier Cage-Free Aviary adds accessible open elevated levels for nests, perches, feeding, drinking and manure-belt collection while maintaining cage-free bird access. This layout can help commercial producers use poultry-house volume more productively than a floor-only arrangement.
Reduce Labour in Egg Handling
Automatic Community Nests and egg conveyors can reduce manual egg-gathering work associated with non-automated floor systems. Eggs can move continuously from the nest through an Aviary Egg Collection System to the egg room, then connect with optional grading, washing, sanitising, drying, weighing, coding, packing or cold-storage processes.
For projects requiring a connected egg-handling flow, Automatic Community Nests support organised egg transfer from laying areas, while an Aviary Egg Collection System can link nest egg belts, cross conveyors and a main egg conveyor. The final process scope should be configured according to the project layout and required downstream handling equipment.
Build an Integrated Egg-Production Line
A 3-Tier Cage-Free Aviary can be planned as part of a connected commercial project. The equipment sequence may combine bird housing, Automatic Community Nests, an Aviary Egg Collection System and optional egg-room equipment within one coordinated production process.
This integrated approach helps commercial egg producers consider bird housing and egg handling as connected stages of one production process, rather than as separate equipment decisions.

Cage-Free Layer House Equipment with Open Multi-Tier Aviary Systems and Egg Collection and Conveying Systems
Complete Cage-Free Layer House Equipment for commercial egg farms can combine Open Multi-Tier Aviary Systems, automatic community nests, feeding, drinking, manure removal, ventilation, climate control and optional egg-grading solutions.
Cage-Free Layer House Equipment for Modern Egg Farms
From open aviary housing to automatic egg grading and packing, a commercial project requires connected equipment planning rather than a collection of separate machines.
We provide Cage-Free Layer House Equipment for commercial egg producers. The project scope can be built around Open Multi-Tier Aviary Systems, automatic community nests, feeding and drinking systems, manure removal, Egg Collection and Conveying Systems, ventilation, climate control and optional egg grading and packing lines.
The objective is not simply to remove cages. A well-planned cage-free layer house creates a manageable and scalable production environment in which hens can move within the poultry house while the farm coordinates egg handling, hygiene management, labour efficiency and environmental control.
A Complete Cage-Free Egg-Production Solution
A commercial cage-free layer project is an integrated system, not a single machine. House design, bird movement, nest position, egg route, manure flow, air movement, lighting, feed distribution and operating procedures need to work together. This is why Cage-Free Layer House Equipment should be planned as a coordinated equipment package.
This approach is designed for commercial farms upgrading from manual or conventional housing to an automated cage-free egg-production operation. The final configuration depends on poultry-house dimensions, flock plan, local climate, egg-room workflow and project requirements.
Core Equipment for Cage-Free Layer Houses
Open Multi-Tier Aviary Systems
The aviary is the central housing structure within Cage-Free Layer House Equipment for a modern commercial layer farm. An open multi-tier arrangement can give hens access to elevated levels, perches, nests, feed, water and accessible litter-floor areas. The layout can be arranged for new construction or adapted to suitable existing buildings.
- Three-tier open aviary configuration
- Hot-dip galvanised steel structure
- Plastic slatted floors or suitable open platform surfaces
- Open access routes between tiers
- Perches and resting areas
- Ramps, steps or movement pathways
- Protective rails and service walkways
- Modular layout based on house dimensions and flock size
Automatic Community Nests
Automatic community nests create a dedicated laying environment and support controlled egg collection. Hens enter voluntarily, lay on the nest surface and leave through open access routes. Eggs are then transferred to integrated belts for continuous collection within the planned Egg Collection and Conveying Systems.
- Group nests or community nests
- Open-access nest entrances
- Nest pads or artificial-turf systems
- Egg-protection and gentle-transfer design
- Integrated nest egg belts
- Inspection access and maintenance arrangement
- Egg-collection route to cross conveyor and main conveyor
Egg Collection and Conveying Systems
Egg Collection and Conveying Systems link the poultry house to the egg room. The equipment can be configured to transfer eggs from nests to cross conveyors, main conveyors and downstream handling equipment.
→ Cross conveyor
→ Main egg-collection conveyor
→ Egg-room receiving table
→ Optional grader, washer, dryer, sanitiser, coder and packer
The final conveyor route should be planned around the number of houses, egg-room location, required hourly capacity, biosecurity separation and packing workflow.
Automated Feeding System
An automatic feeding system distributes feed from a silo, feed bin or central feed source to birds throughout the aviary. The exact solution depends on feed type, bird numbers, house length, tier arrangement and operating plan for the Open Multi-Tier Aviary Systems.
- Feed silo or hopper interface
- Auger transfer line
- Feed hoppers or distribution units
- Chain-feeding, trough-feeding or other appropriate feeding systems
- Level sensors and feed-control options
- Control integration with the farm-management system
Nipple Drinking System
Nipple drinking lines provide water access inside a cage-free house. System design should consider line height, drinker spacing, water pressure, filtration, medication capability, flushing and leak control.
Water management is important in Cage-Free Layer House Equipment because wet litter can increase ammonia, microbial pressure, dirty eggs and operational labour. A properly designed drinking system supports bird access and litter condition.
Manure Removal and Litter Management
Manure belts beneath elevated aviary tiers can remove manure from the house at scheduled intervals. Because hens have access to the ground area, the litter floor requires a separate management plan alongside the Open Multi-Tier Aviary Systems.
- Tier manure belts
- Manure transfer conveyors
- Manure collection or loading point
- Optional drying or handling integration
- Litter-floor cleaning strategy
- Litter turning or floor-maintenance tools where applicable
- Manure storage, composting or transport interface
Ventilation, Cooling and Climate Control
Cage-free birds occupy the floor and several vertical levels. A climate system therefore needs to support appropriate air quality and temperature distribution throughout the building, including the accessible areas of Open Multi-Tier Aviary Systems.
- Longitudinal, tunnel or cross-ventilation concepts
- Exhaust fans and air inlets
- Cooling pads and circulation-water systems
- Heating equipment or cold-climate solutions
- Light-control systems and lighting programmes
- Temperature, humidity and static-pressure sensors
- Climate controller or PLC control cabinet
- Alarm functions for temperature, power and ventilation failure
- Backup-power coordination and generator interface
Local environmental requirements, manure-storage capacity, odour control, groundwater protection, fertiliser-use rules, building standards and electrical reliability must be confirmed by the farm owner and local project advisers. A climate-control plan should be engineered according to the project location, climate data, insulation, house dimensions, flock size and applicable requirements.
