NEW DELHI--- HT NEWS ---Chickens are kept indoors but with more space (around 12 to 14 birds per square metre). They have a richer environment for example with natural light or straw bales that encourage foraging and perching. The chickens grow more slowly and live for up to two weeks longer than intensively farmed birds. The benefits of higher welfare indoor systems are the reduced growth rate, less crowding and more opportunities for natural behaviour, at Gourgoan Poultry farm on Monday evening 02Nov2009 PHOTOGRAPH BY RAJKRAJ/HT
