Great show. Really important. Thanks for posting it, Chris. I just got a chicken coop and was getting ready to buy a couple hens. I wish I knew where I could find some rescued hens in the Bay Area. Anyone have any thoughts?

I am a big fan of Jamie O and Hugh FW. I have seen every episode of river cottage and really like the British Philosophy. We pasture raised 3 Berkshire pigs this year and it is the best pork we ever had. I had a local guy slaughter and butcher the pigs that is only a few miles away. We just got 25 baby chick today so we can have our own eggs and birds to raise for meat. We will not be getting any Frankenchickens to raise for meat after watching this show. I Can only imagine what the factory farms are like in the US. Keep up the good work Chris.
Thanks for spreading the word.

I don’t understand why the British law against battery cages or Prop. 2 in California targets the farmer. Why not ban the sale of birds raised in these conditions so that the already financially squeezed local farmers don’t see production shifted to other countries (like everything else)?

Great post Chris, I wish this would be shown on TV here in the states. I bet Tyson and Perdue would LOVE that.
