Hi neighbours,

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.

I'm interested to hear from anyone who has a small to medium dog that is happy to have someone join them for a walk (no power wakers please), say once a week if of distance to 9th Ave, otherwise happy to meet up a couple of times a week if nearby. My aim is to gain knowledge and confidence again about caring for a dog before I approach someone to take on the responsibility. Diane
