Same!!!!! But I would need a big bus to get all those chickens!

Agreed, but I'd be bringing dog crates and henchmen to get more! (then give them all a real home, of course)

I agree that factory farms are far from an optimal environment for chickens, and that having no feathers is far from an optimal state of being for a bird. At the same time, I admit that it is interesting to see a chicken sans feathers, as it goes to show how much of a difference the feathers really make. I also must give credit to those who were able to create a featherless chicken, whether or not I think it was a good idea.

It is a very unfortunate living environment for those chickens. However, they were bred for meat and probably would have health problems if not culled relatively young. Everyone should have backyard chickens, and then these factories could be eliminated! This sounds easier than it would actually be.

Is that what my girls look like under their panties?

I know, that's what I thought. Actually @Lydia Huizenga - The feathers will never grow back. That chicken was bred to be without feathers its whole life.

Wow. That is terrible. It would not do well in any weather.
