[BCFSN] free ranging chickens like their space

[Pamela Zevit Adamah Consultants]

".both in Australia and internationally, there is a lack of research determining how much outdoor
space hens prefer. Free-range outdoor stocking density is different to stocking density in closed
indoor systems. Hens have a choice whether they access the range or not, leading to continually
varying outdoor stocking densities throughout the day. Our experiment was thus set up to ask, if we
provide hens differing space outside, do they vary in how often they use the range?"
