PETA members are simply imbeciles. Having stated that I will also state that putting a chicken in a cage that is so small that it can’t stand up or turn around and leaving it there until it is ready to die is an abomination. Those who do it are no better than the dog fighters that we seem to be so outraged about. You can pasture 28,000 chickens on 10 acres and the cost of fences and laying houses will be less than the mechanized torture chamber that is normally used. The eggs will taste a lot better. And besides, what the hell do monks have to do anyway that keeps them from herding chickens a couple of hours a day.
Best to raise your chicksns indoors, or, if you can't, eat those eggs and forget about it.

Hold it there, bunky. I worked as payroll supervisor for one of the largest egg suppliers west of the MNississippi. I have toured equally large locations where the birds were kept, fed, and where they produced their eggs. None of the birds I saw were in spaces so tight that it matched what you are describing. Theey do NOT live in this space until they die-—they are rotated out when their production falls off, which a normal life cycle of a chicken. Then they are sold to the soup companies.
Someone has sorely misinformed you and completely overblew the facts.
I was raised on a dairy farm. Next thing, PETA will be complaining that milking a cow is invasion of the cow’s privacy because the machines are placed on the cow teats!!!!
Grow up people!!!
