Multi-Tier Free Range
If your farm is already using a free-range system, you may want to consider an upgrade. A regular free-range system only has one level, and chickens can only move on the ground. ABC Machinery offers a multi-tier free range with multiple levels. It allows you to raise more chickens in the same space.
Chickens have more room to move, rest, and feed. The multi-tier system also comes with an automatic manure cleaning system and automatic feeding system, making chicken farming easier. If you want to expand your farm in the future, it will also be more convenient.

What Farms Are Suitable for Multi-Tier Free Range?
Multi tier free range is suitable for different sizes of layer chicken farms. It is especially suitable for 5,000 layer farms, 10,000 layer farms, and large commercial egg production farms.
