Influence of rearing environment on development of perching and dustbathing behaviour in laying hens [PDF]
, 2007 Studies have shown that perching and dustbathing behaviour in birds can be affected by how and when the behaviour develops. With the increasing trend away from cages and towards keeping laying hens in larger, more complex housing systems, it is important
