Free-range chickens are healthier than vegetarian and confinement-raised chickens.

Chickens are not, by nature, vegetarians. Indeed, they have a ravenous appetite for worms, grubs, and insects. In response to consumer worries about the use of animal by-products in animal feed, some poultry producers are feeding their confined birds a 100% vegetarian diet. However, a year-long survey at a federally inspected slaughter house determined that birds fed a vegetarian diet had a higher rate of disease than chickens fed a standard commercial diet or chickens housed on pasture and allowed to supplement their diet with grasses and insects. The free-range birds were the healthiest of all. This argues for a "species appropriate" diet for chickens as well as all other animals.
