I have a hard time believing that a factory-farmed chicken leads a better life than a wild turkey or grouse or whatever. Living in a cage with just enough room to open it's wings and turn around is not a good life. Just because it is fed on a regular basis and gets antibiotics doesn't mean it has a better quality of life. A chicken that runs free but dies in the jaws of a coyote or from some brutal disease is leagues ahead of a prisoner chicken is pumped full of nutrients and medicine in a box.

That said, chickens are awful, stupid creatures who are good for nothing but eating. I just think there's a distinction to be made for their "quality of life" in comparison to similar creatures living a free-range or wild existence.
