No, there are 2500 hens in there, as I said, the photos only show a small portion of the entire interior. The nest boxes are double sided and the eggs roll away to a belt in the center that brings them into the egg packing room.
They do go outside onto pasture. This flock has only been in there for two weeks (we get them as point-of-lay pullets at 18 weeks old). We keep them inside for nest box "training". Once they have figured out that they are to lay in the nest boxes we start letting them go outside. Once we have a good bit of snow on the ground they stay inside for the winter though.
