   Yes, and not pleasant for the chickens at the best of times. I thought   
   that type of caging was illegal in Canada as cruel but either something   
   changed or I had just never seen it where I lived.   
      
   I grew up in the country where we had the tiny lot on the road, just   
   a few acres where we kept and bred horses (my sister's love) but all   
   the neighbours had hundred+ acre farms with cattle (milk or meat) and   
   crops or both and many of them had chickens for eggs and meat but they   
   were all free range kept fenced in but loose outside so I never saw   
   the 'factory' type egg producing farms..
