It's healthier. You get a leaner bird
with thick-shelled eggs, more vitamins and taste
and fewer antibios. Who'd complain?
I'm not convinced that poultry spirits yearn
for freedom: that's a lot for chicken brains
to grasp. But God knows I would have preferred
to shoo the hens outdoors to scratch and peck
instead of shoveling deep-litter waste
in stifling heat and ammoniac stink.
If it gets on your skin, it makes you burn.
The smell gets into all your food and drink.
You'd like to wring each scrawny feathered neck.
They say it's more humane, and I agree,
not for birds, but farmers who range free.

I agree too!!! You make the perfect case for ranging free! Not only chickens - we humans too.
