This article highlights an Irish egg laying barn system that was being intentionally built prior to this flu. The image captioned "A view of part of a section of the multi-level free-range laying house" shows off a modern barn.

Same thing here, although you can at least see there's some free space they're not making use of.

That's the intentional barns, too. I wonder if the producers who weren't intending for full-time barn raised chickens had decent facilities for them.
