Chickens being raised by a farmer in Dong Nai Province are serenaded in the mornings by Mozart and Beethoven. VNExpress online news reports that every morning at 5am, the farmer turns on speakers spread around his farm to inspire his 5,000 chickens.

The birds, according to all reports, greatly enjoy it. After two months, the number of eggs reportedly rose by 5-6 per cent. An expert in farming said on other farms, lights were turned on to force the chicken to lay more eggs. However, this made them nervous and reduced the quality of the eggs.

Perhaps people might also be inspired to hear some classical music on those early morning street broadcasts.
