Sixty-week-old hens live crowded together inside stacked rows of battery cages on an industrial egg production farm. The farm keeps hens inside these cages for two years while they produce eggs. Each cage is intended to hold up to three hens, but four or five hens per cage were often visible.

A dead hen that has been removed from a battery cage lies on the floor of an intensive egg-production farm. Hen deaths from heat exhaustion are a regular occurrence during the summer months when temperatures typically soar beyond 40-42°C.
A hen living inside a battery cage on an intensive egg-production farm drinks from a water dispenser inside the cage she shares with several other hens. She must use her beak to apply pressure to the dispenser to make the water flow.
Five to six egg-laying hens with pale and drooping combs, dirty feathers and patches of bare skin are kept in small battery cages of about three by two feet on an intensive egg-production farm even as the outside temperatures reach 42°C (107°F).
