Matrix-Style Vertical Chicken Farms

Damn it, I was going to try to make a joke about one of these chickens waking up in the Matrix but I couldn't figure out how to work PETA into the joke. Heh, you know those guys are going to crap when they see this.

After this "desensitization," the chickens could then be stacked into huge urban farms with around 1,000 chickens hooked up to large vertical frames — a little like the network of pods the humans are connected to in The Matrix. The feet of the chickens would also be removed in order to pack more in. There could be dozens of these frames in the vertical farming system, which Ford refers to as the Centre for Unconscious Farming.
