In the barn
Barn hens roam freely in a barn, where they have access to litter in the form of a dust bath/scratching area, as well as perches and nests. A maximum of 9 barn hens per m2 is permitted. Barn hens receive conventional feed.
Access to outdoor areas
What is the difference between barn hens and free-range hens?
Barn hens and free-range hens have in common that 1/3 of the floor in the hen houses must be covered with litter in the form of a dust bath/scratching area, and they have nests and perches. At the same time, barn hens and free-range hens receive conventional feed.
The biggest difference is that free-range hens have access to outdoor areas - barn hens do not. In addition, there is a slight difference in flock sizes. A barn hen flock is usually 6,000 - 35,000 hens. In a herd of free-range hens, there are typically 6,000 - 30,000 hens.
