Layer Housing. Small laying flocks are generally floor housed or allowed to range rather than kept in cages. ... Housing requirements for floor and free-range layers are simple and easy to arrange on most small family farms. Provide hens with 3 square feet of floor space per bird. Protect them from adverse weather conditions and predators. The structure must also protect feeders and be suitable for nests and a roost. Tube feeders and an automatic waterer are recommended for floor layers.

À l'époque où la production en cage était interdite au Danemark, une race hybride de pondeuses au sol à production élevée, la Skalborg Hybrid, a été développée. Aussitôt que l'interdiction danoise sur les systèmes de cage a été levée en 1979, l'intérêt a disparu en même temps que cette lignée. Aujourd'hui, si l'excellente pondeuse au sol Skalborg avait été conservée, cet environnement de production aurait constitué un avantage. Toutefois, après de nombreuses générations de sélection dans des conditions de production en cage, les animaux sont probablement moins aptes à la production au sol.
