A report on the welfare of laying hens in colony systems has been presented by the Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC) to the Agriculture Ministers of Great Britain. It makes some 61 recommendations for the improvement of the welfare of laying birds in deep litter houses, perchery (bam) houses, multi-tier colony houses and in free-range systems. The main part of the report deals with housed birds; the coverage of hens in free-range systems is somewhat limited.
