While it is impossible to quantify how many companies still use the battery system, it is known that in the UK alone more than 16 million hens are still kept in cages by large companies. The trend is to reduce battery hens and offer "cage-free" chickens and chicken products now. Cage free is simply the release of the birds from cages to the floor of a massive building where the birds are still crowded. Cage free is NOT free range. Consumers would not stand for the price increases involved if all eggs and chicken meat were to be based on the cost of free range vs. cage free.

How big are chicken cages in factory farms?
In factory farms, chicken cages, particularly for hens raised for egg production, are often very small, typically measuring about 18 inches wide and 24 inches deep. In these cages, multiple hens are confined together, sometimes with as many as five to ten birds per cage, leading to extremely limited space for movement. This confinement can significantly restrict their natural behaviors and cause stress. The use of battery cages, which are particularly cramped, has come under increasing scrutiny and is being phased out in some regions due to animal welfare concerns.
