Free range all da way.
Srsly, how much damage are we doing to the environment by letting some animals run around in paddocks?
Most kunce cruising around in big arse suv's or v8's are doing more harm to the environment everyday sitting in traffic than worrying about some birds running around in a paddock.
I said this before. Free range hens use up more land. Are about 10% less feed efficient and have higher death rates. That equates to more pollution, worse for the environment and more land used.
With over half a billion egg and meat chickens raised per year in Aus that adds up.
Using rough figures 10% feed efficiency works out to be an extra 200 thousand tons of feed annually for the same meat and eggs from chickens. Insignificant? Lol.
