Nearly 350 million hens in the United States spend their lives in small, wire cages with 6-8 other birds.
Now you can get a bird's eye view of what life is like for these hens with the Virtual Battery Cage.
Check out the interactive battery cage here.
My grandfather, Louis Irving Seabury, who most likely was a distant cousin of yours, ran a chicken farm in Yarmouth, Maine, for the last 50 or so years of his life, but I am happy to report that his hens had a lot of room and were never treated like this.
