"Hugh's Chicken Run" was a programme as part of Channel 4's 'Food Fight' series in which celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall launched the campaign to encourage more consumers to demand free range chicken. Hugh was joined on the campaign by fellow celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver, who chose to highlight the issues in the more graphic Jamie's Fowl Dinners.

In the series Hugh set about the highlighting the differences in standards by creating his own intensive and free range chicken farms, as well as mentoring a community project in Axminster.

Hugh heralded the campaign a success when he managed to get to the point where the majority of chicken consumed in the town of Axminster was free range. Since then the campaign has gone countrywide with over 128,000 viewers having pledged on the campaign website to only buy free range products. The show has been linked with the large rise in free range products, as well as the drop in demand for intensively reared products during January and February 2008 [cite news|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/the-campaign-that-changed-the-eating-habits-of-a-nation-788557.html|title=The campaign that changed the eating habits of a nation|accessdate=2008-03-01|date=28 February 2008|author=Martin Hickman|publisher=The Independent] . A poll carried out for the RSPCA, 73% of adults claim that they now only buy birds that have "higher welfare" conditions, such as the RSPCA's freedom food scheme, free range or organic [cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/mar/01/chickens|title=Shoppers turn to better-reared poultry|accessdate=2008-03-01|date=1 March 2008|author=Rebecca Smithers|publisher=The Guardian]
