I wouldn't keep them there like that anyhow as maintence issues would horrendous. And it's easier to let them run around a small pasture so poop cleanup is easier, they'll come eat when they are hungry or when you feed them. You've never worked a ranch, have you?

Well, a good life to many of these people means the four seasons or something. Ridiculous. Let them live in some moderate space and that's it. What do they want, a serta mattress or something?
Quote:he free range chicken makes sense to me... since how if they literally coop up the chickens in a building for their whole lives, that makes them more prone to disease and starvation. Since how in the cramped quarters the bigger chickens will be crowding the feed bins, and keeping the smaller chickens away. they'll also have to walk and sleep in their own feces too, hence the high chances of diseases.
you wouldn't want to eat an diseased dead chicken now, would you?[/quote]
No - but wait - you're supposed to cook your food! Its a pretty hard concept since Ecoli and salmonela keep coming back up, but I think I mastered it. And such products must pass inspection. If you kept them all in a individual 3 x 3 ft cages and cleaned the poop out you're fine. Letting them run around like royalty is stupid and time and space consuming.
