5-4. 籠飼與平飼是完全不同的飼養方式。籠飼系統主要取決於飼主,而平飼系統取決於母雞。有位荷蘭飼主曾提到「籠飼管理就像在騎腳踏車般容易;而平飼管理則像是開車上路,你必需要有駕照才能上路;同時,你必需要有飛行員駕照才能飼養有機雞隻」。 Cage or floor: there is a world of difference between the two. With caged chickens, it’s mainly the farmer who calls the shots. In non-caged systems the hens determine what happens. A poultry farmer in The Netherlands once said: ‘If keeping caged chickens is like cycling, keeping chickens in a floor system is like driving a car, and keeping aviary chickens is like driving a lorry. You need a pilot’s licence to keep organic chickens.’
