This is an ineffective statistical question because "happiness" is a subjective and difficult to measure concept. It is also unclear how happiness would be quantified in this study, making the results difficult to interpret or generalize. Additionally, there may be various factors that contribute to a chicken's happiness, not just the number of chickens in a cage.
