…researchers will test wearable sensors that will monitor how chickens use space and resources in non-cage environments.
Sleep well, knowing that every movement of non-caged chickens is being tracked in East Lansing, Michigan.

Sigh….head banging against the wall….
Be careful there Dominique – maybe I should send you a pillow and an aspirin. The things money gets poured into is amazing.
Wow, $375,000 for a pork barrel full of chickens. No wonder our country is going broke.
I just showed your article to Tammy and she just had two words, plus a couple of raised eyebrows. “For real?”
Larry – the scary thing is that is just one little study at one university, and in reality $375,000 is a pretty small amount for these types of studies. Scary.
For half that, I’ll let the government know that our chickens roam most of our 5 acres. Oops. I should have waited until the check cleared.
Vince – you are making a HUGE assumption that a check from the government would clear! Do you know where your chickens are?
