Conducted among readers of Living Earth magazine on behalf of the Soil Association at the end of 2006, this survey shows that 63% of readers bought organic chicken meat; approximately 70% of organic chicken and 2/3 of all poultry came from supermarkets, while the rest were bought direct from farmers or independent retailers. Consumers expect both organic and "free range" chickens to have been raised according to certain animal welfare standards, which in practice are infrequently met by retailers.
