Eleven hens are crowded into this battery cage. They do not have enough space to stand fully upright, turn around, or even stretch their wings without bumping into their cage mates. These hens are still fairly white because they are so young.

Title:
Contagious diseases are a problem.

Summary:
The overcrowding creates a fertile breeding ground for contagious disease. Antibiotics are routinely added to the hen's food in an effort to prevent disease, but this leads to drug-resistant strains of diseases that become a serious human health problem.

The cages are stacked six tiers high and the rows go on for more than the length of a football field. The air is thick with feathers and ammonia and difficult to breath, causing many of the hens to develop respiratory and eye problems.
