Rearing
The rearing system should be as close as possible to the laying system to avoid the risk of increased floor eggs. It is recommended to install perches in the rearing house before 4 weeks of age. Light intensity does not need to be to high, because high intensity increases the sensitivity to dark areas in the laying house. Early transfer is strongly recommended in order to avoid the onset of lay in the rearing house, which can encourage the birds to lay on the floor in the laying house.
