Free Range and Free Run Chicken vs. Conventional Chicken

Conventional chicken is grown in confined cages. The barns in which they are grown are flushed with chicken and they don’t even get some space to move freely. They stumble over each other let alone walking in the barns. They are barely able to stand up. The conventional chicken farmers feed them with a formula to multiply their growth rate. The space in their barns gets more congested as they grow. They gain weight rapidly and with a weak skeletal structure, they usually fracture their bones. When grown in such an unhygienic and congested environment they acquire different diseases. It is not healthy for health-conscious consumers to consume the meat from local meat farms, which use the conventional way of farming. Rather the non-vegetarian consumers who want to benefit from the meat must opt for free-range and free-run chicken.
