Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.

Did everyone notice that youtube was shut for apparently for 2 hours I believe. I will leave the links in this comment section below. This person I am giving this youtube link to everyone here says that youtube was shut down because of man in uniform or something about to hit the moon. So apparently this video went viral and was posted everywhere online, then the youtube outage occurred. Other theories youtube shut down because of the moon itself. Who knows? Here's the links anyways:
