I came to another store with large cages. Each cage contained a live chicken. This store sells chickens. At the Khlong Toei market, you can buy chicken meat after it has been slaughtered, and you can also buy live chickens. Unlike cows and pigs, chickens can be slaughtered by individuals, so it is likely that some customers buy live chickens.

However, it seems that this store does not sell live chickens very often. Chickens taken out of the cage here are immediately plucked and roasted whole. This is the case with the chicken the man in the photo took out of the basket. It was only placed on the cage carelessly for a short period of time before being roasted whole. Even though the chickens know they are to be roasted whole, they cannot escape. A plastic string is firmly attached to each leg.

Even though the chickens are out of the cage, they are not released. At this stage, the fate of the chickens has already been decided. They will either be slaughtered in the market kitchen or in private homes.
