This project is designed to analyze possible causes of keel-bone-deformation, or KBD, repeated stress injuries to the keel bones of chickens. KBD in commercial chicken farming leads to both ethical and economical concerns. To do this the team designed a small lightweight sensing unit to be used to collect data about chickens and their environments.
