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.

Scott McPherson, 22, contacted his family on Tuesday, to tell them he was lost in the bush around Opepe Farm, near State Highway 5, also known as the Napier-Taupō Road.
No-one was heard from him since. McPherson was last seen wearing green camouflage pants, a black jacket and a white Tui hat. The search team met at 7am on Thursday to discuss a plan for the day, a police spokeswoman said.
McPherson is described as 183cm tall, of slim build, with short light brown hair. He has blue eyes and a tattoo on his left shoulder down to his elbow, as well as a scar on his neck. Police are asking anyone who might have seen Scott to get in touch by ringing 111.
