Everything on this planet evolved in an open environment.  Roaming is not a 
preferential activity, it is merely the result of being hatched in the middle 
of a field.  In addition, chickens are completely domesticated.  Millions of
years ago, ancient Babylonians (I'm not a student of history, so I might be
a little wrong here), in anticipation of styrofoam (and sauces in little
plastic containers), decided to breed and domesticate chickens.  It's a little
absurd to label chickens as wild animals.

If you are so stressed over the feelings of chickens, what about the feelings
of broccoli?  They are living creatures as well, and who are you to say that
they don't have feelings as well?  To arbitrarily say that vegetables don't
have feelings is the same as saying that chickens don't have feelings.

[various gripes about Frank Purdue's Industrial Activities deleted]

If you don't like Mr. Purdue that much, go buy Holly Farms Chicken.  That is
how consumers can directly affect the producers in the market.  Unfortunately, 
I've heard disturbing rumors about Dinah Shore.
