The price of commercial chicken cages for poultry farm equipment varies based on several factors, including size, material, automation level, and supplier location. Here’s a general price range and key considerations:
1. Price Range (Approximate)
- Basic Manual Cages (Small-Scale):
- $20 – $50 per unit (for 3–5 birds per cage).
- Example: Single-tier galvanized wire cages.
- Medium-Scale Battery Cages (Layered/Broiler):
- $100 – $300 per unit (holds 10–30 birds).
- Example: A-tier or H-tier galvanized steel cages.
- Large Automated Systems (Commercial Farms):
- $5,000 – $20,000+ for a full system (e.g., multi-tiered, automated feeding/watering).
- Example: 4-tier systems for 1,000+ birds.
2. Factors Affecting Price
- Material: Galvanized steel is more durable (and costly) than plastic or mild steel.
- Capacity: Higher bird density per cage reduces cost per bird.
- Automation: Automatic feeders, egg collectors, and manure systems increase prices.
- Brand/Supplier: Imported brands (e.g., Big Dutchman, Chore-Time) cost more than local manufacturers.
3. Popular Types & Their Uses
- Layer Cages: Designed for egg-laying hens ($50–$150/unit).

- Maintenance: Spare parts like feeders/drinkers may add costs over time.
Pro Tip
Request samples or visit farms using the cages to assess quality before bulk purchases. Compare warranties and after-sales support.
1. Drinking system include the water pipes, water pressure adjuster, drinking nipples, Waterline front-end device, dosing system etc, choose them according to customer's needs.
2. High-quality water drinking pipes, pressure regulating valves and water drinking nipples can effectively prevent the water leakage. Drinking system adopt the closed piping system, which can minimize the water pollution.
3. 360-degree drinking nipples provide adequate drinking water for poultry at all stages.
4. The automatic drinking water system mainly adopts the steel ball drinking nipple. lt uses imported high-grad stainless steel, POM resin, and APS engineering material, which is wearing resistant, and the durability can be used for long time.
1. Automatic feeding machine can be chosen between gantry and ladder feeding machine. Gantry type feeding machine is a relatively economical and practical machine with simple operation, remote control walking character, easy to manage.
2. Mechanical transmission device running smoothly, low noise, long service life.
3. With the use of automatic control, the feeding system can adjust the amount of material.
4. Feeding with arched structure, high carrying capacity, not easily deformed.
5. Saving man power, saving feed, greatly improving the efficiency of Large-scale farming.
6. The walking speed of gantry feeding machine is 9--12 m/min.
1. Manure removing system included scraper type and conveyor belt type, Which can reduce the labor intensity and labor cost, keep the chicken shed dry and clean.
2. A type chicken cage can use scraper type or conveyor belt type.
3. The scraper type is suitable for A type cages, which can clean two or three rows. For the starters, this type is a good choice. lt can not only save some labor cost, but also save some investment in the whole project. The cleaning speed is 6-10 meters per minute.
4. Conveyor belt type is more suitable for large scale farming. The manure removing belt we use is high quality PP material (polypropylene). The walking speed is 2-4 meters per minute.
High Quality Pellets Made by Mobile Pellet Machine
1. It has professional designed angle of the blade. After the dynamic balance test one by one, the blade can operate smoothly.
2. The air volume is consistent in the whole life of the fan. Bearings has advantage of high strength, low noise, durable and so on.
1. The cooling pads uses high-quality wet curtain paper and adopts space cross-linking technology, which has the advantages of high water absorption, high water resistance, anti-toxicity and long service life.
2. The cooling efficiency is over 80%, without surfactant, natural water absorption, fast diffusion speed and long-lasting effect.
3. The product does not contain phenol and other chemical substances that are easy to cause skin allergies. It is non-toxic and harmless to the human body and chicken when installed and used. It is green, safe, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, economical, and easy to install.
4. The frame aluminum alloy has high strength, good corrosion resistance, durability and beautiful appearance.
5. Use a special filter for the cooling pad at the upper water to ensure clean water quality and support efficient water circulation components.
6. Combined with a negative pressure fan, it can effectively lower the indoor temperature.
The window is made of special selected high-quality engineering plastic, with high strength and long service life, together with superior anti-aging and anti-UV performance.
Function: Ventilation of the chicken house, usually used in the winter.
This system can adjust the wind speed and direction, thus the cold air will not reach chicken directly , which can effectively prevent the phenomenon of cold stress in chicken.
Environmental control system equipment is suitable for large-scale and intensive farming. According to customer requirements, we can provide various types of smart poultry equipment.
1. Our poultry management system is a modular system that manages all aspects of the chicken house, such as climate, temperature, humidity, ammonia, feeding, feed weighing, lighting and ventilation systems, and can monitor the situation of the chicken house in real time through a computer and mobile phone.
2. The management computer is the heart of the poultry farm, allowing you to easily monitor the entire poultry farm.
