All i can tell you is that I raise mine in a 12 x 12 box stall bedded with plenty of shavings, and they are neither smelly not dirty. Mine don't have a chance to get muddy because they do not go outside, and their bedding is always dry.so they can't sit on anything wet.

Quote: You are right about the birds being only as clean as their living conditions. I think a lot of people are simply not prepared for the amount of waste they generate as compared to other chickens and do not compensate for it. Does anyone keep meat chickens in cages?

They eat a lot and drink a lot, which means they poop a lot. Mine stay fairly clean because I bed them on shavings and add shavings as necessary so the bedding never gets wet. Wet bedding equals dirty chickens.
