Chickens don’t care where they live. Chickens only care about food, water, a safe place to sleep, and not getting eaten. Humans care about how other people raise their animals. People should do what is best for them and not worry about what the animal lovers think. The same people who love animals sooo much, but would step over a dying human being.

At least provide the chickens with a safe space so that if they get overwhelmed by other chickens picking on them they could use their safe space to regroup

It’s so inviting, he apparently had to use faux chickens in the pics.

“Improving lives”? Who’s? Most certainly not the chickens! Closed in behind glass? This is an inhumane idea/design. Take a Saturday or Sunday drive and support areal, local family farm whose eggs will be humanely and sustainable produced, months fresher than store bought, and where hens get to be chickens!

Chickens need a coop at night. They NEED it. They roost, sleep, lay eggs in there. This guy had (has) his coop in a fenced in area. As far as I’m concerned, you should free range your chickens when you are around to watch them and protect them from harm. Predators do much of their hunting at night, and the coop is a safety zone for them.

That’s the power of the DIY network: learning from each other how to improve our lives!
At the expense of the hens in this case.
Hideous, cruel, abusive.
If I couldn’t have free range eggs I would go without.
Only an imbecile would think that caging hens in this way is a good idea.
Unless I’m missing how the chickens let themselves in & out at will.

That little white chicken looks like it’s been in solitary confinement for way to long! It looks angry!

This is a poor idea. I have kept chickens for years. There is no way those birds would choose to separate themselves individually into segments of cabinet. They are flocking birds. They would not choose different spots to lay their eggs, either. Which means somebody isolated those birds from each other. Frankly, not just poor, flat out stupid.
