Did you know that chickens are intelligent and have a social structure? When they are in nature, they form friendships and are able to recognize each other, are able to love/care for their young, roost/make nests in trees, take dust baths? Chickens that are raised for eggs or meat are not given the opportunity to do these things. Over 8 billion chickens are raised for these purposes each year. They are kept in large windowless sheds filled with ammonia, with artificial light that is used to manipulate them to eat as much as possible.
