56.000 chickens lay 40.000 eggs a day on a chicken farm in Haaren. With a.o. food that is transported along the battery cages by a conveyor belt, a gutter that contains water and nipples for water. The eggs fall onto a conveyor belt and are taken to a packaging department where they're put into boxes.
