Breeder companies recommend stocking densities during rear between 7 and 10 birds/m2 for females and 4 to 8 birds/m2 for males.
Stocking density during the laying phase varies between 4.5 and 7.7 birds (females + males)/m2 depending on legislation and region. In Europe, stocking density varies between 5 and 8 birds/m2, whereas in other countries it varies between 4.5 and 6.5 birds/m2.
