A recently released report written by people from the Royal Veterinary college, the University of Warwick and the University of Bristol has found that 27.6\% of chickens reared for human consumption struggle to walk, although a "considerable variation in walking ability between flocks," was reported. The study reported that "27.6 per cent of birds represented by this survey had a gait score of 3 or above." The study also stated that the month in which Broiler chickens were least likely to have severely damaged legs was March, with it being most likely in the month of September. The study also said that the chickens which were tightly packed into a small area were more likely to have difficulties walking than chickens that were given more space.
