Personally I don't agree. Chickens seem fairly happy with all of the feed and water and air being blown at them. However, if you see the movie BABE it sort of makes you wonder what is fair.

Most egg producers are very careful about the way that their birds are treated and follow the anti-cruelty methods suggested by the United EggProducers and other groups.
