Researchers led by Michael Toscano at the Center for Proper Housing of Poultry and Rabbits (ZTHZ) in Zollikofen, Switzerland, were able to show how chickens use an environment that corresponds to a commercial laying hen barn. For instance, their work has shown that the birds seem to maintain regular schedules as they move through the various barn and outside areas including the wintergarden. (IMAGE)
