Rows of egg-laying hens live in stacked battery cages on an Indian egg production farm. Porous gunny sack material covers the sides of their tin-roofed open-sided shed, but as the outside temperatures soar above 42°C, the shed's small overhead fans provide little relief from the heat. Hot air blows in through the shed's sides, adding to the hen's discomfort.
