   That's what my assumption is also. The facilities can have doors that close,   
   but even places like Walmart get birds flying in once in a while.

   I just don't buy the "close quarters" story. All chickens live in close   
   quarters. I don't believe that there's a farmer who gives each chicken their   
   own apartment, not even in Canada. A sneeze can travel a long distance, way   
   further than the space that any chicken has to herself.   
      
   David Muir can totally say otherwise with a straight face though.
