Battery Cage Egg Production: White Leghorn Hens Stark white chickens crowd tightly against wire mesh grid systems, their pale bodies pressed together beneath harsh industrial lighting. Yellow egg collection spheres punctuate the vertical metal divider, revealing the systematic efficiency of commercial poultry production. Each hen displays the classic Leghorn breed characteristics - pristine white feathering and bright red combs, their bodies positioned in regimented rows that demonstrate agricultural optimization over animal comfort. The metallic infrastructure creates sharp geometric lines contrasting against the soft, compressed forms of the chickens, symbolizing the mechanized approach to large-scale protein production. Compressed together without space to move, these birds represent Australia's intensive egg farming practices, where productivity and economic metrics determine animal management strategies. The watermarked "Gal Mabin" photographic signature suggests professional documentation of contemporary agricultural systems, capturing the clinical precision of industrial livestock environments.
