No creature enjoys a cage, I imagine...no matter how roomy.- Beekissed

Is it cruel to have chickens if they can't free range?
Quote: Same here....I see no reason to have them if I cannot provide the optimal environment for them. If I cannot free range, then a good-sized tractor or electric poultry netting that is moved often would be the only alternatives.- Beekissed

Is it cruel to have chickens if they can't free range?
Really? Since I've never really had confined flocks, I wouldn't know about the laying efficacy of chicken confined to runs, but I don't believe I've ever heard that it affects laying ability. Could you explain the theory behind that?- Beekissed

Is it cruel to have chickens if they can't free range?
I always feel sorry for chickens in bare-nekked runs that are packed and slimey...but I've never once noticed a chicken in a run moping around and feeling sorry for itself. If I were a chicken, I'm sure I would enjoy free ranging more than run life, but chickens~blessedly~cannot feel regret...- Beekissed
