Eating around the clock
I am still growing really fast and I am moving a lot less. The artificial lights are not on as much and there are periods of darkness This makes it easier for me to rest when there is nothing else to do. When the lights are on, I have been eating and I am getting bigger every day. Many of us are eating around the clock, even when it is dark.
FACT CHECK:
In intensive broiler sheds, the lighting is often kept low but may be kept on for most of the 24 hours to encourage the birds to keep eating. A short period of at least 4 hours of darkness is required to enable the chickens to sleep.
