Furnished cages

Okay, so, you know how chickens lay eggs, right? Well, sometimes people keep chickens in something called a "furnished cage." This is a special cage that has some things in it that help the chickens live more comfortably.

For example, the cage might have little nest boxes for the chickens to lay their eggs in. It might also have some perches that the chickens can stand on, so they can move around and stretch their legs. And there might be some things for them to peck at, like toys or even some food, so they don't get bored.

Now, some people think that furnished cages are better for chickens than other types of cages, because the chickens have a bit more room to move around and some things to play with. But other people don't like furnished cages, because they still think the chickens aren't getting enough space to really live comfortably.

So, the bottom line is that furnished cages are designed to make life a little better for chickens that are being kept in cages. But some people still think that chickens should be able to move around more freely and live in a more natural environment.
