Abstract
This is a time series data collected on-farm on an aviary system and on the range using radio frequency technology. The time series data was through tracking 15 625 hens in 5 flocks during the 18-74 weeks of age. The time series data was aggregated daily in order to describe the use of the aviary system and its relation to its body weight in the 5 flocks (Chapter 3a, b, c). Chapter 4 data file contains the time series data used for clustering the hens according to their behaviour using K-means and agglomerative. Chapter 5a,b,c,d data files contain laying performance, body weight, egg quality and egg grade data for the hens grouped according to behaviour. Chapter 6 and 7 data file contains the health, welfare, bone quality data for the subgroups of hens.
