Approximately 2,000 densely housed laying hens live on this organic egg farm in Switzerland. The concrete floor of this barn coupled with their tightly packed living conditions prevents the chickens from scratching and pecking on the floor, which is part of their natural behaviour. Due to their large numbers and crowded living conditions, these chickens are also subject to more frequent instances of disease compared to flocks of chickens kept in smaller groups.
