As someone who raises chickens, with no cruelty, I'm surprised to hear it's not already an option.

Maybe you should look for another source.

Unfortunately, not everybody can afford to raise their own chickens.

E.g. IIRC, raising of any chicken/duck/goose/pigeon on land that is not zoned for agriculture has been outlawed in Hong Kong, due to concerns about spreading diseases, especially avian flu.

Plus, most people live in tiny homes with no garden and maybe even no balcony.
