ChickenOut

I've arrived at the farm

I just hatched yesterday with thousands of other chicks and already we’ve been loaded into crates and brought to a warm but empty shed. I can’t see what’s outside as there are no windows and the door is always shut, and instead of fresh air, there’s a fan running. It’s very bare here except for feeding and drinking trays and shavings for litter. The light’s pretty bright on my eyes and I’m wondering what’s going to happen to us.

FACT CHECK:
Typically, commercial broiler chickens are placed in rearing sheds at one day old and are allowed no access to the outdoors during their lives. These sheds are generally bare except for feeding and drinking points and litter on the floor to absorb the chickens’ excreta.
