It's very bright in here
I’ve been here for three days now and it feels like it’s constantly day-time. Everything looks the same in this huge shed and as there’s not much to do, we’re just eating. The lights haven’t been switched off since we got here and it’s very bright. There are no windows, just large fluorescent bulbs. This does make it easy to find food and water but it’s not very nice for sleeping.
FACT CHECK:
Typically, intensive chicken sheds are not open to air and are fan-ventilated and artificially lit, so the birds have no access to daylight or fresh air. Almost continuous bright light may be supplied for the first few days to enable chickens to find food and water.
