Okay, after sending the first response I finished reading the article. Truthfully I didn't finish the last 2 paragraphs the first time because I thought the article was such horse pooh-pooh. I personally believe the birds become "domestically violent" ha-ha…whatever because they are kept in such confined spaces. If they didn't spend their lives so crammed up to begin with there wouldn't be the problem there is. Sure, you'll end up with one here and there but not something that would be the general rule.

What is considered "free range" in the UK? I don't know about anyone else but my birds "free range" and they are moving all the time. Thus far I've not had any feather biters. I've always thought that it was the chicken "farmers" who have an overload of birds in the enclosed barns, houses, whatever they want to call it , that trim beaks (speaking of US farmers).
