Quiz Answer: Chickens in the Egg Industry

Caged chickens in the egg industry are never able to:

 

A. Spread their wings
B. Walk around
C. Lay eggs in a nest
D. All the above

Answer: D

More than 90% of egg-laying hens in the United States are confined in restrictive "battery cages"—enclosures so small that the birds can't even spread their wings. These birds will never touch the ground, go outside, or even breathe fresh air.
