A layer breeder cage system is a type of housing system for poultry that is specifically designed for breeding hens. The system typically consists of rows of cages that are arranged in a tiered structure, each cage is typically large enough to accommodate a single hen, and the cages are usually equipped with perches, nest boxes, and feed and water troughs. The system is designed to provide a comfortable and hygienic environment for the hens, and to allow for easy collection of eggs and monitoring of the birds. The system is also designed to minimize the amount of labor required to care for the hens

One aspect of layer breeder cage systems that is important to understand is the lighting. Lighting is critical for breeding hens, as it helps to stimulate their reproductive system. Layer breeder cage systems typically use a light cycle that is longer than the light cycle used for laying hens. This longer light cycle helps to ensure that the hens are producing eggs at the desired rate. In addition, the light cycle is carefully monitored and adjusted to ensure that the hens are getting the rest they need

The light cycle can affect the quality of the eggs produced by layer hens in a number of ways, for example, eggs laid under artificial lighting tend to have thicker shells and higher levels of vitamin D than eggs lay under natural lighting. In addition, eggs laid under natural lighting tend to have more yellow yolks, while eggs laid under artificial lighting tend to have more orange yolks. These differences are due to the fact that the hens' diet and activity levels are affected by the light cycle
