Hen ranging in relation to sunlight on commercial free-range farms

These data are counts of hens on the range across three commercial free-range farms in TAS, QLD, and WA. Sunlight wavelengths and other weather variables were also recorded on the farms to match with hens' use of the sunny or shaded range areas. \nLineage: Video cameras and weather stations were set up on three commercial farms over the summer/autumn period of 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 for one shed per farm. The video recordings were used to count hens in sunny and shaded areas across the day for each farm. These counts were matched with sunlight and weather variables recorded at the same time points.

本数据集收录了塔斯马尼亚州（TAS）、昆士兰州（QLD）及西澳大利亚州（WA）三家商业化散养农场牧场内的母鸡数量统计数据。各农场同步记录了太阳光谱波段与其他气象变量，用于关联分析母鸡对向阳或遮阴牧场区域的使用情况。
数据集溯源：2019/2020与2020/2021年的夏秋季，研究团队在三家商业化农场各一座鸡舍部署了摄像设备与气象站。通过日间录像统计各农场母鸡在向阳与遮阴区域的分布数量，并将该统计结果与同时段记录的太阳辐射及气象变量进行匹配关联。
