Perches

Perches for laying hens offer numerous benefits for the well-being and health of the animals. They promote the natural behavior of the hens, as they can rest on the perches at night or during resting periods instead of sitting on the ground. This prevents pressure sores and joint problems. In addition, perches help to reduce stress, as the chickens have a suitable resting place and can retreat from possible disturbances. Species-appropriate housing with perches also promotes feather care and the general well-being of the laying hens, which can have a positive effect on egg production and egg quality.
