On The Other Hand See Laying Cage:
A large percentage of new housing for laying hens makes use of laying cages in which hens are housed one to three per cage. Several tiers of cages may be used to make the best use of the space inside the laying house. Feed and water are supplied by automatic systems, and automatic egg-gathering equipment brings the eggs to a central location for processing and packaging. With such systems, one man may take care of up to 25,000 laying hens. Many very large egg-producing units with as many as several hundred thousand laying hens are now in existence.As pet needs much room, use large reptile cage (see Part IV). Cover cage bottom with 4-6 inches of building sand or fine gravel. Place cage where it receives greatest amount of direct sunlight throughout day. Retreat—Necessary; construct rock pile at one end of cage; place rocks so that lizard may squeeze in between them as well as bask on top.
