Egg farming, also known as poultry farming, involves the raising of chickens for the production of eggs. There are several methods of egg farming, each with its own set of practices and considerations.

Free range farming, is when chickens have access to outdoor areas to get sunlight and fresh air were they can engage in natural behaviors like scratching, dust bathing, and foraging. But also have access indoor facilities for egg laying and to feel protected at night.

Cage Farming, is where chickens are housed in small wire cages, providing limited space for movement. These systems are often criticized for animal welfare concerns due to restricted movement. However, they can be efficient in terms of space utilization and egg collection.

The main benefits of cage farming are maximum egg production efficiency, and is more cost-effective due to optimized space usage and easier management. Plus the controlled environment can help reduce the spread of diseases among the flock.
