Multi-level systems allowing birds to move vertically and horizontally, promoting natural behaviors and social structures but can make management and egg collection more complex.

Chickens are kept in a larger confined area often with vegetation, providing more space than conventional systems but still limiting full range of natural behaviors.

Combines different production stages under a single company's control, improving efficiency and biosecurity, but may lead to less competition in the industry.

Poultry are raised on grassland, moved regularly to fresh pasture, ensuring a diet supplemented by foraging, which may enhance flavor and nutrition of products.

Birds are raised on floor systems with bedding materials such as wood shavings, allowing natural behaviors but requiring regular litter management to prevent disease.

Provides a fully enclosed environment with controlled temperature, humidity, and lighting, which can maximize productivity but require significant energy and may raise welfare concerns.

Designed to mimic natural light patterns, potentially improving welfare and productivity by aligning with the chickens' circadian rhythms, differing from 24/7 brightly lit environments.

Employ organic feed and avoid synthetic chemicals. They also adhere to free-range principles, but with stricter regulations regarding feed and medication.

Integrate poultry with trees and crops, which can increase biodiversity and reduce feed costs as birds forage, but complicate management and harvest.

Also known as enriched or colony cages, these provide more space than conventional battery cages and include enrichments like perches and nest boxes, aiming to improve welfare without fully removing confinement.

Incorporates chickens into a sustainable agriculture system that mimics natural ecosystems, which can enhance soil quality and pest control but may have lower predictable outputs than conventional methods.
