Lelystad · Broiler chickens
EKO
polderhoenderhof in Lelystad keeps broiler chickens. This location holds the EKO certification.
On the Kok family's large-scale organic farm, the research team found dead and sick animals. A striking number of the animals can barely walk and therefore benefit little from free-range access. The youngest chicks appear to be dropping dead in droves.
While the Netherlands was up in arms about broiler chickens, Ongehoord demonstrated that organic and Beter Leven chickens suffer from equally serious welfare problems. For the first time, images of parent stock were released.
