US chicken companies pioneered restricting sleep to keep birds eating around the clock.
A new study (Li et al., 2026) recommends giving chickens just 2 hours of darkness nightly to maximize the time they spend eating. The study and photo are Chinese.
We know chickens have far better hapiness with 7–8 hours of darkness to sleep.
But they eat more and grow faster when they are sleep deprived.

They breed animals who like to be killed.
This is such a weird argument to have. Whg is it better to kill a happy animal?
You can do what you want to do but there is no “nice” or “humane” way to exploit and kill animals.
hope you’re getting paid
