Chicken farming. Chickens being raised for their eggs on a poultry farm. These hens, a breed of the domesticated chicken (Gallus domesticus), lay their eggs inside this large coop, while also being able to roam and forage outdoors. This is an example of a multi-tier chicken coop, with several tiers of chickens. This farm is part of Yorkshire Farmhouse Eggs, operated by Adrian and James Potter, finalists in the 'Poultry Farmer of the Year' category in the 2010 Farmers Weekly Awards.
