As far as I can see, the word "battery" is there as a pun only. If you read the article carefully, it talks about using soiled litter, which I assume means from shed-raised broilers/layers - I was under the impression that battery hens have no litter, being kept in bare wire cages? Not that using waste from other intensively-reared chickens is any better, of course, but let's get our facts straight, girls :)
