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.

A special general meeting was held on Tuesday for shareholders to vote on Amuri Irrigation Company's offer, which was made earlier this month following a poor response from farmers for HWP's water rights share offer.
"This area has suffered from the impacts and effects of drought over recent years and an irrigation scheme will bring certainty and security to those farming in the area," AIC chairman David Croft says.
MANY THANKS to all who responded - we have now found a home which we can move into soon, after nearly eight years of renting after the earthquakes! Can't wait to settle!
