I love that show! It was good to see it with another thing for chickens!

Yeah I can understand that guys livehood about free ranging the chickens, coyotes would have had a major feast!

Look at all that poo! Good thing he didnt get bombarded with some!

Love the shower scene!

To be fair, there was a conveyor belt running under each row of chickens to carry the poop away. While some could still fall and hit some of the chickens below most of the poop is taken away. It wasn't like all the poop was falling onto the hens under them.
Certainly not the best conditions but not as bad as some make it out.

Yep thats is one of the better cage systems. The second one where you saw the highrise (2nd coop) is not as good as that one becase the cages need to be slanted to get atleast half the manure away from the chickens.

no, i'm sorry..those cages were horriable!...those poor chickens all crammed in like that..its pure evil..and cruel...no animal should have to live like that....but thats just my opinion...

dang, i missed it. i had to watch the new episode of House

I am not saying that it isn't cruel to have them all crammed together like that. I am just saying to clarify an earlier post that made it sound like all of the poop from the top four or five cages was all falling on the ones below. I didn't really see how the second one was set up so I can't comment on that. Is that the one where the poop was cleaned up by a Bobcat loader?

Yea the bob cat loader was the one thats worse. I will also clairfy I'm not for or against cage birds. In that one the cages are made so that about half the cage above is over the other. We had cages like thoes at one time. You could see the white chickens at the top and they got dirtier as they got down to the bottom row. I'm not saying that exactly the same thing though. The manure belt on the bottom of each row really helps and the cages can be bigger now becasue there isn't a space for the manure to fall between the cages.

they had both on that show.. the second it all fell through to an empty space below where the tractor cleaned it up.. the first house they showed had manure belts.. the second one did not.
