Francis Cabot Lowell had a textile mill he founded after him known as a Lowell Mill in 1826. Recruiters, mostly men, encouraged young girls, mostly between sixteen to thirty six, to work in the mills.
Factory owners often recruited children through a variety of means, including advertisements in local newspapers, word-of-mouth in communities, and by leveraging the economic desperation of families. Many parents, facing poverty, were willing to send their children to work in factories for meager wages, believing it was necessary for the family's survival. Additionally, some factory owners established relationships with local schools or orphanages, seeking to employ children who were not in formal education. This exploitation was fueled by a lack of labor laws protecting children at the time.

Rhode Island System: Samuel Slater's strategy of hiring families and dividing factory work into simple tasks Lowell system: based on water-powered textile mills that employed young, unmarried women from local farms; included a loom that could both spin thread and weave cloth in the same mill
Because they technically work there (there as in where they are volunteering) and their job might be to recruit more volunteers. (hope this helped)

yes you can have chickens if you work at a chicke factory.
It depends on where you work. In my experience factory work is very boring, but you get paid well.
