How big is a battery cage?

Contrary to popular belief, battery cages do not equate to one cage per bird. Rather, birds are stuffed into communal cages that are often no more than a few feet across, and only about 15 inches in height. In the 2017 guidelines established by United Egg Producers, a marketing association of US egg farmers, each bird must have 67-86 square inches of space. People sometimes compare this to the size of a typical sheet of paper, which is actually even bigger: over 90 square inches. Such tight confinement means that birds cannot even spread their wings fully without hitting their cage-mates or the wire sides of the cage.
