Correct, most chickens are raised in enclosed buildings. And most pigs are farmed intensively, whether that be fully outside or with a roof.
Dairy cows in the US are a mix of confined and pastured; it's kind of an ongoing experiment. Dairy calves are more likely to be raised in some form of shelter/confinement than beef calves. (Here, a "beef calf" is one being raised specifically with the intent to raise it for slaughter; many dairy cows will end up becoming beef eventually but the path to getting there is different.)
Beef cattle outnumber dairy cattle about 3:1 in the US.
