Sažetak
This paper discuss the introduction of new laying hens housing systems due to legislation which the Republic of Croatia adopted. According to the laws by 2012, all layers must be switched from conventional cage system to enriched cages or alternative systems. Regart to expensive investments in new equipment for the small producers on family farms in Croatia, authors consider how much it is profitable to select some of the alternative systems. Small producers may see their chance in the mutual integration of the cooperative and joint participation in domestic and especially foreign markets. Assumption is that eggs from alternative systems, if more, have an organic mark, could become an export product of RH.
