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..
