Egg production is a huge business! In the United States alone, almost 300 million egg-laying hens are used to produce over 80 billion eggs each year. Over 90% of these hens spend their entire lives in conventional cages, also known as battery cages. A battery cage is typically home to 6 hens – sometimes more, leaving each hen with little more than an iPad’s (7 x 9.4") worth of individual space to move in. This lack of space keeps hens from spreading their wings and performing other important natural behaviours such as foraging, nesting, perching, or dust-bathing. Hens are often injured by the constant friction against the cage and feeble attempts to stretch out can result in their legs, wings, and necks becoming trapped and broken in the cage’s wire frame. In a conventional cage-keeping facility, battery cages are stacked inside a barn; cages are side by side and one on top of another, allowing for thousands to millions of hens to be kept in one location where they never experience natural sunlight or free range of movement their entire lives.
