Quite a few chicken owners will house them indoors while coop repairs are going on, because of the predator problems. One of my friends had a resident hawk near her property, so when they had to fix the chicken wire over the run, the hens were in a room in the house.

You mean you get a choice ???

From what I understand, in some cases it intensifies the urge to eat them.

Chickens will attack a chicken if it has any visible defect. I remember that from my grandfather's ranch. He had some chickens; we never ate them, because he had made them all pets. He also had two greyhounds who never raced. My uncle kept a cow there; my mother wouldn't let me drink her milk because it wasn't pasteurized; she was also a pet. My Dad had two horses: a Palomino stallion called Chief, beautiful animal. Nuisance, a lovely gelding we could all ride. My grandfather built a tack barn, stables and a corral. He built my parents a house, my aunt and uncle a house. He built my SF fashionista a large home with a library, and took her to the City for shopping and plays. He built a motel and a gas station/market adjacent to the 99 highway. His freezer had huge ice creams drums which smelled wonderful. A kid's paradise with a large cemetary down the road with large roadways and a mausaleum where my best friend and I gave grand balls, announcing Duke and Duchess so and so

Not true. It doesn't pain them unless the egg gets stuck.
