European farms cram their chickens together in a pool of their own shit too. The only difference is they vaccinate for salmonella.

- rsynnott 4y agoWhile vaccination is one difference, the EU has banned conventional battery cages, and some countries have banned all cages. Where cages are allowed, the legal minimum area is 0.075m^2/chicken; the US doesn't seem to set a minimum on a national basis, but average seems to be ~0.04m^2. So there's a significant difference in density, which likely has some impact.
