Barn
Shelter & Space
The barn provides a chicken shelter and space to move.
Chickens always walk freely in the barn. They live in barns where temperature, moisture, light, and air quality are carefully watched to make sure that the birds are comfortable and stay healthy.The barn floor is covered in soft straw or wood shavings. The barn also keeps the birds safe from predators like foxes, weasels, and skunks and lowers the chances of them getting sick.
Food
So they can grow big and strong!
Chickens need food - just like you! They eat feed made of grain, grain by-products, and protein-producing seeds, like meal made from canola and soybeans.
The chicken feed changes as the chicken grows, to suit its needs. But the feed never has added hormones or steroids. The use of hormones and steroids has been banned in all poultry since the 1960s.
Caring for the Flock
In Canada, there are mandatory Animal Care and Food Safety Programs that make sure all chickens raised by chicken farmers receive the best care and are raised safely.
Farmers will walk through the barn several times a day to check the birds’ health, check water and feed lines, and make sure all equipment is working properly.
Farmers work with veterinarians to make sure chickens are healthy – like you, they get checkups and vaccinations!
Farmers and vets change into clean coveralls and boots before going into the barn so any disease or virus from outside is not brought inside, and can't be accidentally passed on to the chickens.
Adult Chickens
Chickens raised for meat are called “broiler” chickens or “roasters” when grown to a larger size.

Water
Chicks arrive on the farm when they are one day old. The chicks have access to food and clean water right when they arrive - and all day and night! Can you see the long pipe that brings the chickens clean water and the nipples where they drink from? The feeding pans are where they get their food.
