camera revealed that

17 nights local time, and BBC played a record film on a supplier chicken farm provided to Kentucky raw materials. There were about 34 thousand chickens squeezed under a huge shelter.
documentaries show that chickens in the same culture shed live almost in their own feces, and feces can be seen everywhere. There are sawdust everywhere, like garbage dumps that have never been cleaned up.
but when asked whether it was a problem, the supplier denied, "it's not a problem, because the sawdust you see here are used to keep the sheds dry."
