A poultry cage door assembly includes a main body, a secondary body, and a bracket. The main body includes a main first lateral end extending from a main front side to a main rear side and from a main upper end to a main lower end. The main first lateral end includes a first keyed arrangement and a first bracket-receiving feature. The secondary body includes a secondary first lateral end extending from a secondary front side to a secondary rear side and from a secondary upper end to a secondary lower end. The secondary first lateral end includes a secondary keyed arrangement and a second bracket-receiving feature. The secondary keyed arrangement is configured to mate with the first keyed arrangement. The first bracket is mateable with the first bracket-receiving feature and the second bracket-receiving feature.

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems in egg hatching, based on hatching eggs in a tray (2), comprising arranging eggs in a pattern in or on the tray, comprising egg supporting positions and holes together defining the pattern, wherein the holes are dimensioned to allow chicks (27) after hatching to pass there through into a crate (4), detecting at least one of numbers of unhatched eggs (22) in or on the tray; numbers of dead chicks in the crate; and numbers of objectionable chicks in the crate, and supplementing or removing chicks to or from the crate in correspondence therewith.

A ring clip for connecting two wire mesh panels. The clip has a first arm and a second arm. The arms connected at respective first ends by a hinge. A second end of the first arm defines a recess which is adapted to receive a second end of the second arm when the clip is in a closed condition. The first arm includes a first tab, and the second arm includes a second tab, such that, in the closed condition the first and second tabs are substantially opposed. The first and second tabs are substantially misaligned laterally.

The present embodiments provide an aviary, a walkway for an aviary, and a walkway system for an aviary. The walkway includes a ramp and at least one support disposed below the ramp.

The present embodiments provide an aviary, a walkway for an aviary, and a walkway system for an aviary. The walkway includes a ramp and at least one support disposed below the ramp.

In one embodiment, an aviary is provided, wherein the aviary includes a cage. A resilient platform is positioned adjacent to the cage. In an embodiment, a perch is positioned adjacent to the resilient platform.

A modular ecological system for walls that houses plants, animals, and insects.

The present embodiments provide an aviary that includes a cage tower and an egg collector. A cover is positioned over the egg collector and includes an inner end and an outer end. A cover adjustment member is coupled to the cover to reversibly raise one of the inner end and the outer end to a higher position than the other of the inner end and the outer end to facilitate movement of a deposit disposed on the cover toward the lower positioned end. The present embodiments also provide a method of operating an adjustable balcony in an aviary, which aviary includes a cage tower, an egg collector, a cover including an inner end and an outer end, and a deposit. The method includes disposing the cage tower in the aviary, disposing the egg collector on the cage tower, disposing the cover above the egg collector, and disposing the deposit on the cover. The method further comprises raising, during a first period of time, one of the inner end and the outer end to a position higher than the other of the inner end and the outer end to facilitate movement of the deposit toward the lower positioned end, and lowering, during a second period of time, the one of the inner end and the outer end to a position lower than the other of the inner end and the outer end to facilitate movement of the deposit away from the higher positioned end.

Differential illumination systems and methods selectively provide light having different spectrums in an aviary system for housing animals located within an enclosure, and in the enclosure. A first light source produces light with a first spectrum, and illuminates an internal volume of the aviary system. A second light source produces light with a second spectrum different from the first spectrum, and illuminates the enclosure outside of the aviary system. The first spectrum can have a higher red component than the second spectrum to encourage chicken to lay eggs inside of the aviary system, and the second spectrum can have a higher blue component than the first spectrum to discourage chicken from laying eggs outside of the aviary system.

A henhouse includes a gable, a sidewall, and a roof. An inner chamber parallel to the sidewall is provided in the middle of the henhouse. The inner chamber includes an inner wall parallel to the sidewall and an inner roof. A partition is provided between the sidewall and the inner wall. An air inlet plate is provided between the two inner walls located below the inner roof. A pressure chamber is formed between the inner roof and the air inlet plate. A premixing chamber is formed between the inner roof and the roof. A plurality of fans and air inlet windows are uniformly provided on the inner roof. A plurality of air inlet holes and small inlet windows are uniformly provided on the air inlet plate. A plurality of wet curtains and an air vent are provided on the sidewall. A plurality of air outlet slots are uniformly provided on the inner wall.
