According to the ASPCA:
> A factory farm is a large, industrial operation that raises large numbers of animals for food.
That's an _extremely_ broad definition that says nothing about the condition of the animals.

From what I remember there's something like 750 million head of cattle in the world, and like 18 billion chickens. This doesn't make up for the awful treatment of poultry, but it doesn't really extrapolate to animals like cattle and sheep.
