We Animals | A laying hen pokes her head through the bars of a cramped battery cage on a Slovakian intensive egg production farm. Feed is delivered to the hens utilizing a conveyor belt, and they must push their heads through the bars to eat. This farm keeps tens of thousands of hens in multiple metres-long rows of cages stacked 3 levels high. When the hens can no longer produce enough eggs, they are taken to slaughter and replaced with a new young flock. Velky Lapas, Slovakia, 2022. Andrew Skowron / We Animals
