Billions of chickens are kept in tiny cramped cages without enough room to even spread their wings. Many of these chickens live in a space that is less than half the size of a sheet of standard sized paper per hen... that's only 67 square inches to live!

Jane Velez-Mitchell sat down with Farm Sanctuary's Bruce Freidrich to talk about the impact this bill could have.
