Just wondering if this is a one-off in my local Lidl.

Someone placed A4 (what look like handwritten but must be photocopied) notes amongst the chickens in the chiller asking people to consider where it comes from, conditions etc etc

Nice sentiment. Google says nothing other than the usual stuff about Lidl and chickens.

Just wondering if this is a well meaning local thing or if others have seen it?

I think a lot of people are going to struggle to buy free range chickens.

I think you are right. I've tried a reasonable selection of UK supermarket offerings and a few imported options from trade suppliers. However, in this instance I bought 3 large chickens from Lidl for less than the one linked from Sainsburys. In fact, with 10% off 3 extra large chickens from Lidl were only fractionally more than a single small free range chicken.

And... as has been highlighted. Free range really only means a few differences in conditions and a different breed from the bogo cobb and ross. Maybe another couple of weeks to add the weight needed.

Doesn't alter the fact chicken is probably the most abused animal we farm.
