There is then an RSPCA one in the UK that farms can be certified as meeting which is half way between - the chickens get enough space to allow them to behave normally, assorted objects like platforms to stimulate their interest, the lighting must mimic a normal day and be turned right down for a minimum number of hours, etc.

flock-to-flock contamination is quite a problem if you're trying to not feed the birds antibiotics.

true. But I think at this point we are getting away from commercially raised and more towards pets.
