My neighbor grew up on a farm 50 miles away. She told me her brother raises free-range chickens. Then she added, "Of course, they don't move around outside. They live in boxes."

For a chicken, that's surely worse than being in a building. Imagine a coyote sniffing around at night or a hawk overhead in the day. The poor chickens can see the predators, but they have no place to hide, can't flee...

Pfui!
