The National Chicken Council are the lobbyist who bribe politicians. The new technology has done nothing more than guaranteed more long term debt and astronomical utility costs...with the windowless houses you are 45 minutes away from a disaster 24/7.

48 days and they are "done" - crippled, lame - Their heart and organs are ready to expire at 5 weeks!

Don't eat gimpy birds! Go Vegan!

They are bred for meat production, fast growth ect.

i wouldn't say that the conditions they're grown in have gotten better over the past 30 yrs. their conditions benefit her, not the chicken. she's taken away their natural needs to nest, roost, etc.

I highly doubt there are 40,000 chickens in that house shown.

litter conditions are great, they have feed, they dont have to look for bugs, they have clean water, they dont have to drink out of a mudpuddle. they have heat, they dont have to huddle together to stay warm, they do not have to worry about predatory animals that will eat them, as they are protected in the barn, they have fresh air with fans that kick on to bring fresh air in the barns. the barns stay cool in the summer with the tunnel systems, i would say the growing conditions are great.
